Hangar 2 of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur Airport (1H0), a hidden treasure of St. Louis, MO. Many of these vintage aircraft are in flying condition. Hangar tours ($10, weekends) are a must for plane fans anywhere near the St. Louis area. |

The St. Louis, MO skyline taken on the grounds of the Gateway Arch, or, the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. In the center is the Old Courthouse, site of the 1856 Dred Scott case. The stitcher had a hard time making a coherent Arch, sadly. |

Not a terribly exciting photo, but a good test of my Gigapan Mount. This is Rainbow Dam, one of five hydroelectric dams at the Great Falls of the Missouri River. The reservoir behind the dam covers up Colter Falls, a small waterfall noted by Meriwether Lewis during the month-long stay of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805. Rainbow Falls is much more impressive in the spring after the mountain snows melt and run off. |

A woodland pond in the ozark hills of Missouri. This is an artificial pond that was built more than 50 years ago and is now becoming more of a swamp than a pond. Herons and wild ducks visit this place; there's a housing development just out of sight behind the trees to the left.
