PICT1886 

Kat snapped this one, what I thought was a pretty telling image that depicted how high the water was at the St. Louis waterfront by the Gateway Arch.  (Generally, you can see much more of them)  BTW, this is a statue of Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, pioneer explorers, and symbols of the beginning of the great western movement that sprang forth from St. Louis in the 1800’s.
