The History and Science of The Moors
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.

Sherbin Coulette- Mayor of Henderson, LA explains “Back to the Butte” Celebration.
Butte La Rose — July 23. Just two months ago, Butte LaRose was a ghost town, with law enforcement and St. Martin Parish officials blocking the access roads. A few resident holdouts refused to leave, even during a mandatory evacuation. Fear grew that several feet of water would inundate the town following the opening of the Morganza Spillway and continued flooding of the Mississippi River.
But today some signs of vitality are back in this community on the edge of the Atchafalaya Basin. Boats and trailers fill the landings along the basin, the adjoining Atchafalaya River and several connecting canals. The main highway leading in and out of town is filled with pickup trucks passing back and forth. Teenagers on ATVs ride the gravel road on top of the town’s main levee. Campgrounds are filled to capacity with visitors.
Some say, though, that misconceptions about the level of damage are keeping visitors and even some property owners away. The event — “Back to the Butte”– is a fundrasier for the Catholic Church, Sacred Heart of Jesus Chapel, and the Butte La Rose Volunteer Fire Department.
Local musicians donated their time to perform for the event include Hunter Courville and Cajun Fever, Terry Huval and Jambalaya, D.L. Menard, Joe Douglas, Al Berard and REFLX, Geno Delafose and Helen Boudreaux.

Music by Charley Pride; The Mississippi River is North America’s largest river system. It’s the fourth longest river and 10th most powerful river in the world.
Natchez Mississippi; the City on the Bluff; is the oldest settlement on the Mississippi River. In 1714 the French settled on the high bluffs and surrounding area and two years later a permanent fort was established.
Natchez, Vicksburg, Greenville and Tunica are the only Mississippi cities with bridges over the Mississippi River.
Even though the Mississippi River is rising; there is no chance of Natchez flooding. Natchez sits on a bluff approximately 150 to 200 feet above the Mississippi River. But, because the Natchez Under-the-Hill is situated below the main city area; it, could experience flooding as the river rises. The River poem was written by Deborah Young, Visual Poet. Video inspired by Mississippi River, Natchez, Mr. Charley Pride
