Thoughtful, Downtown Saint Louis, MO
Another view of the Mythological Ram’s Head at the base of the Civil Courts Building. I have several more of him, then we’ll switch to something else. :)Update: People have asked how I got the sky so dark. I did two things, the first was to increase the saturation of…

Ram, Civil Court Building, Downtown Saint Louis, MO
A closeup of the figure on the copper flame holder on the steps of the Civil Courts Building in Downtown Saint Louis. I’m almost certain that isn’t a ram. Some mythological animal. Kudos to anyone who can identify it.10th St. & Market St., Saint Louis, MO

Fixture, Downtown Saint Louis, MO
Sometimes things look more interesting than they are. The composition here is less than satisfying, and I regret I haven’t anything better to put up. I’m working on getting a new batch ready to go.Spruce St and S 7th St, St Louis, MO 63102

Dogwood, Forest Park, Saint Louis, MO
Forest Park is one of the best park’s I’ve ever been to. It is every bit as nice as Central Park in New York. Full of Museums and cultural attractions, it is the home of the Saint Louis Zoo, the Muny, the Jewel Box and more. In 1904, Forest Park…

Poplar, Central West End, Saint Louis, MO
This tree is located not far from my apartment. My whole neighborhood is full of poplar trees, their white bark gleaming gracefully in the sun and snow. The solar flare in this photo is unfortunate. I don’t think it detracts from the photo too much, but it would be better…
Architecture
Pilgrim Congregational Church, Saint Louis, MO
The Pilgrim Congregational Church on Union Blvd. I’m Baptist by upbringing and choice. One of the things often missing in Baptist churches is the kind of architecture that inspires the awe of God. The architecture of churches is one of the things that I rarely tire of. At some point…

Industrial, Rutger St and S 1st St, St Louis, MO 63104
In downtown, along the riverfront, there are old warehouses, train depots, and switching stations. I like the look of age that lies on everything.Rutger St and S 1st St, St Louis, MO 63104
