“The statue is an exact copy of Italian sculptor Vincenzo Consani’s work Victory, which is housed in the Pitti Palace in Florence, Italy. This copy was carved by Carlo Nicoli and arrived in St. Louis in 1886. Garden founder Henry Shaw originally built the small stone structure—known as the "Temple of Victory"—in 1860 as his own intended final resting place using local white limestone.”-racstl.org

This shot was taken at a night event at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Since this photographer is quite short the statue takes on a menacing appearance, having to look up to get the shot.

What was once a train station yet is no longer, is still a crossroads and the dead still linger here #PalacesAndGardens + #LastWords

Welcome to Union Station. Captured this shot from the back seat of a moving vehicle through a tinted window which worked nicely as an impromptu ND filter.

Ok, I may have overdone it on the pumpkin photos but I i think I have them all posted now. Unless I find more. #31DaysOfHolloween

I found some more pumpkins. Not sure how long all of these are going to last outside with the heat we have been having.

Time for a very very late #BirdOfTheDay. I couldnt pass up today’s theme since the only bird photos I have so far are #brown. Even if this one is over exposed.

An over exposed image of a female mallard duck sitting on a tree root near a pond. The joy of getting a new lens and not really knowing what to set the camera too. Yes, it could be fixed a bit more with the raw file but for this is the best edit I have for now, until I get my hands on an adobe Lightroom alternative.

With all the chatting I’ve been doing I almost forgot about #ManholeCoverMonday! I also need to go on some more photo walks, my stash of manhole covers is getting low.
