I’ll get a taxi to drop me off at Casino Queen and then walk to the location. Is this platform still there, and does it get in the way? If the answer is yes to both, was the above shot taken before this structure was in place?
I would guess that it would get in the way of a picture like the one above unless it is shot from the metal platform itself (which I doubt is legal/safe). I also noticed from Google Earth that more or less opposite the arch is a long metal structure a few metres into the river. Can I (safely and legally) get right to the water? I wanted to ask your advice on some points:ġ) Access to the opposite river bankGoogle Earth appears to show some railway tracks running along the opposite river bank. This is probably the best shot I’ve come across: I’ll be visiting St Louis shortly and hope to photograph the famous arch from the other side of the river at dusk.
