St. Louis Skyline
St. Louis has a beautiful downtown area. This is our Old Courthouse which was site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. This photo was taken from the Arch grounds looking west.

Morning on North Bay
A few minutes after sunrise on North Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. A great time and place to sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee. Perhaps heading out in the kayak afterwards? This is near Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin looking out to Lake Michigan.
