St. Louis Riverfront, December 6, 2010

East St. Louis is one of my favorite places to take pictures, especially the banks of the Mississippi near the Eads Bridge. It's like a front row seat for one of the most beautiful and distinctive skylines anywhere. The problem is - it is slightly illegal to be there. To get to the East St. Louis riverfront requires crossing several railroad tracks and a gravel road owned by Cargill at its giant grain elevator where barges are loaded with corn. There are "No Trespassing" signs all over. But at night, those signs are difficult to read, especially in the blinding lights from across the river. Shutter: 30 seconds; Aperture: f/22; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm.
