Inspiring Photo: Arch #14098993

Arch

Uploaded: September 09, 2013

Description

One of the best views of the St Louis arch is found at the reflection pond. The grounds offer other points of views but they often go unnoticed as visitors head straight to the bottom of the legs and never explore elsewhere.
The Gateway Arch grounds, St Louis, MO. 2006/02/04
Canon 5D, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens, tripod
focal length: 25mm, exposure: 1/12 sec, f/22, ISO 100.
