With all the shelter at home stuff, thought I'd start a fun thread to help get our minds on better times. I am not a professional or high level amateur photographer, but I have taken some cool pictures over the years. If you've taken pictures that you're proud of, how bout posting a couple,and explaining what they are?
I'll Start:
St. Louis July 2003. I was staying downtown in that beer can shaped hotel by the arch. I got a call around midnight that my mom was taken to ICU in Arkansas, and was in bad shape. I got up at dawn as the sun was rising over the Mississippi river. I took this picture looking east. Went to the chapel in the center and said a prayer for my parents. Mom got out of ICU 66 days later.
Alley Springs, MO: From around 2002, near Eminence,MO.
Hotel Bothwell, Sedalia,MO. Shot at sundown in downtown Sedalia.
Desoto Sign, Carthage, MO. On a trip to Arkansas, took the scenic route 2018.
Missouri Hwy 13 Bridge, Lexington, MO: Looking north during the flood of 1993.

It was a lot easier to see than I had expected. I kept seeing suggestions to bring binoculars to help you find it. I did, and they were nice to have, but I spotted it as soon as I stepped out of the car (and I wasn't out of the city's range of light pollution at all). [Reply]

That looks nice because they had to rebuild the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay. Here's what happened to the original in 1980 when a freighter hit the bridge and 35 people died.
