20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Gateway Arch on a Cloudy Evening 01

Was working in St. Louis and visited Gateway Arch National Park on a calm, cloudy evening. I wanted to try long exposures to see how the sodium vapor lights from the city illuminated the clouds. I was surprised and delighted to see how the arch spotlights projected a shadow onto the low clouds. Was also surprised to meet a city coyote later in the evening, on a late night excursion up from the river.
