The "Gateway Arch" or "St Louis Arch" is located in the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial near Busch Stadium along the Mississippi River in St Louis, MO.
It's the tallest man-made national monument in the United States. If you are in St Louis or even just driving through, be sure to stop off and see this.
There are a lot of composition angles to try. There is a great deal of space near and around the arch itself to get some great shots of the structure.
At 630 feet tall, this is also the tallest accessible building in the entire state of Missouri.

The stainless steel is extremely bright and highly polished. It really contrasts well against the dark blue sky.
You can just make out the window ports if you look near the center section of the structure.

For some reason, I think the arch looks great in B+W. Something about the smooth skies and the stainless steel forming great abstract lines.
