St Louis at Night

10/13/2011

2 Comments

 
Here are some pics I took on the evening of Oct 25th which was my last night in the city  of St Louis, Missouri.
Picture
Hansom cab in front of St Louis Hyatt Regency Hotel
Hansom cabs were numerous in St Louis. I only walked around the Old Court House and park area and yet I saw 2 hansom cabs in front of my Hyatt Regency Hotel, 6 in front of the Old Court House where it faced the Gateway Arch, and several more near the park. The cabs cost $30 for a 15 min ride and up, but there are set rates between points of interest, as well.

This little spider dropped down beside me as I took the above photo from the Court House steps.

I'd been leaning against the hand rail near the cement wall for several minutes when I sprang back from a movement at the corner of my eye. The spider dangled  just inches away. Creepers!

After that, I steered clear of walls and fences and even hurried to get past overhanging trees while in the park. 




The park is a beautiful place with an amphitheatre surrounding a steeped waterfall and a breathtaking view of the Gateway Arch behind the Old Court House.

This is my last shot of the Gateway Arch taken in the same spot several wedding parties had stood for photos the day before.  I never did find out why the fountain spouts deep aqua coloring.

View of the St Louis area immediately after take-off.
My flight left St Louis at 7:30 Monday morning.  I believe we're flying northeast of St Louis.

Northeast of St Louis between The Crossroads and Grafton
And this is just seconds later. After correlating with maps, I believe this is where the Mississippi hits the area between Grafton and The Crossroads. After this photo, I was too high for more pics.

Goodbye St Louis. I'm already looking forward to the next ACFW conference to be held in Dallas, Texas next year. Yee haw!

Well, I really enjoyed all the posts from ACFW. Great photos and videos.
Cute Roomie video was my favorite of course!

Thanks for sharing the whole conference in your classic style, Anita. I appreciate your take on it and hope to attend next year!
