Illinois #4

And finally, here is the last amazing thing I saw while in St. Louis. From the ground , it's awe-inspiring. From inside it is overwhelming. The space at the top is small and to look out the tiny wndows, you have to lean outward. I will admit to being quite relieved to head back down again.

This and the next are St. Louis...

I craned and cranked and twisted in my seat to see this as I flew out--I thought surely it would take up the whole skyline, but alas, I never saw it from the air.
