St. Louis
I have a lot of good memories in this town. There is a part of me that still gets giddy like a little kid when I drive down I-64 through the City.
If you’ve taken 64 into St. Louis, you may have noticed a large green dome to the West-Northwest.
It is the Cathedral of Saint Louis. It is very big and very beautiful with an absurd number of mosaics. I went there a few weekends back.
After mass a number of people stuck around to take pictures with mostly hand held point-and-shoot cameras. At most a small flash will basically do nothing to improve your photos in a large, relatively dim space. You really need a tripod.
I actually had one guy come up to me and ask if I was a photographer working at the church, kinda like those photographers at Disneyland I guess. I told him “no” but I took a picture of him with his camera. I’m a nice guy like that.
Like the cathedral shot and appreciate your feedback on my lizard pic the other day. I put some of that feedback to work on the Cooper’s Hawks that were hanging out on a putting green in Tucson. Hope you like this one better!

Glad you like the cathedral shot!
I like your photo of the hawks, one of them seems to be looking at you!
Great shot. I like the lens flare 🙂
Thanks JP, I thought maybe it was the holy spirit, but I guess it is a lens flare.
Thanks for the visit John!
Love this added to the bucket list!
Love the graphics on your blog as well -;0)
Thanks John! Appreciate your visit as well, look forward to seeing more of your photos!
Nice photo of church interior. Feels like a classical HDR motive.
Thanks for the visit and comment in my blog some time ago.

Appreciate the comment Tania!
Cool shot…I just realized you are pretty close…I am in SW MO.
Love your capture of the St. Louis Cathedral. I grew up near St. Louis and remember the drive down 64 well. You did the inside of the cathedral justice! Attending mass there was always a treat.
Thanks Robyn! Mass there is very beautiful! Appreciate the comment!
The highlights of my trips abroad are usually the inside of the majestic Cathedrals. This one is awesome.
Thanks Mike!
