Riding between the Lynxsville Lock and Dam and the village of Lynxsville, we see the sunset along the most beautiful river in the world. This is my place, my go to place for vacation and a getaway. It is such a fun time, the scenery, the things to do, the history, it goes on and on. Not to mention the BNSF Aurora Sub follows it for 60 miles. I hope to live here soon.

A short summary of a visit to the area around the St. Louis Arch in St. Louis Missouri.
Filmed on a Canon 60D with a Sigma 28mm Prime lens @24p. It was very sunny that day so I had to set aperture pretty low. Color corrected with Premiere Pro CS5.
Facts about the Arch:
The Gateway Arch is the tallest national monument in the United States at 630 feet.
Construction began February 12, 1963, and the last section of the Arch was put into place on October 28, 1965.
The Arch weighs 17,246 tons. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history.
The Arch was built at a cost of $13 million.
