Gateway Arch - Photo Study

These photos are all of the same subject, the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri. The monuments symbolizes the gateway to the West, and the water in front is the Mighty Mississippi River.

My goal with this page is to show the difference between what your average person does with a camera versus the creative eye of a 'photographer'. All the pictures were within a 3 day period.

The little line in the sky is a jet trail.
