I'll get some more photos of it later this week - I'm pretty pumped to check it out.

^Very nice! Personally, I think you pick your first frame where the boat is still visible going down stream and the train is centered in the west span and freeze it there and you have an absolute winner. (Though I admit, the motion in the gif is fun.)

I do! Perfection! The motion really is nice, but that's a great capture either way. Fabulous shot!
Yeah, tearing down Busch II was a huge mistake; someday people will realize how short-sighted it really was.

THANK YOU! Instead now we have a pile of stacked bricks crammed up against a highway

Always enjoy when the PD sends their photographers out after a snow storm:

It's one thing to steal trays from Wash U's cafeteria, but ripping lids off dumpsters isn't cool.
Maybe you didn’t watch his interview, but he said they came from his apartment complex and they’d be returned to their rightful home at the end of the day.
If that’s our biggest problem of the day, I think we’ll be OK.

When I was a kid we went to the sledding hill one time and a guy was riding the upturned hood of a VW Beetle.
^ My dad and his buddies would take car hoods down to Art Hill all the time when they were younger. They’d pile 10 or so people on them and let it rip.

More shots from yesterday’s visit to BJC. Mostly iterations if the same, trying to avoid window panes and reflections.

^Keep it up Shad! Great stuff. Which reminds me that I need to post some train pics. Lord but I am the slow. Lovely!
I appreciate the design effort that went into this storm drain cap. Walked by it for years and only recently noticed it while waiting at a red light.

That is a surprisingly nice one. I think I might have seen a similar one somewhere in town, but it could also be my brain playing tricks on me. I started seeing little plastic plaques in Columbia a bunch of years back that said "protect our fish, this drains into a stream" or something like that and thinking it was darned odd, being from the world of combined sewers. I wonder if it's a newer design going in as MSD wades deeper into separating storm and sanitary sewers. Even if we have nothing else, at least we have some of the world's biggest sewers! (And attractive new lids for them.)
I think this is an April Fool's Day joke, but I'll bet there are some actual sewer nerds around here.

^Looks like a technique called "light painting." I think what you do is put the camera on a tripod and open the shutter in a very very dark environment and then use a light source to strategically light sections of your subject. VERY nicely done.
