Photography Contest Grand Prize Winner - Arch

Arch
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.

Canon 5D, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens, tripod
