Perspective
My friend, Dr. Mike, took the photo at the left. This, for those of you who have never gone West of the Blue Ridge, is the St. Louis Arch. For those overly familiar with it, this is an interesting perspective of the Arch.
A symbolic “gateway to the West” the Arch stands near the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown St. Louis. As part of the skyline, no other buildings rise above it. It is interesting, beautiful and, when seen close up, rather awe-inspiring.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the creative process, lately. Inspired by this photo, today I will turn ideas on their side, get down on the floor and look up, peer at them over my shoulder and see how it can all come out very differently.
Thanks for the photo, Dr. Mike, and for reminding me of a very special part of St. Louis.

You’re welcome MJ. You have been a very important part of my life and we all miss you here in St. Louis. After reading your post about the reality of no longer calling St.Louis home, I knew you needed a little reminder of your old home!
luv ya

Thanks for stopping by my site.
Great picture of the Arch. I saw it once when I was 15 and we were driving home from a vacation in Colorado. We didn’t stop, but it was an impressive site, even from the interstate.
