A photo story

City Museum, St. Louis

I got Laura to squeeze in for a selfie under this giant riveted red tower next to the Ferris wheel at City Museum in St. Louis, in May 2026. Gray sky that day, wristbands on, and both of us grinning. It was in the low 70s, almost no wind, and a little rain had fallen, which fits the gray sky in the photo. A few days earlier I had been at Taum Sauk, about a two hour drive south.

City Museum is built out of reclaimed salvage, and that red tower and the Ferris wheel are part of the rooftop. We just ducked under the tower and took the picture.
