I’ve always loved the massive steel girders of the MacArthur Bridge, snaking its way through Chouteau’s Landing.

It even goes over the top of a warehouse at one point–that would never be allowed nowadays.

I am giving a free lecture on Daniel Martensz Mytens the Elder’s Portrait of Charles I at the Saint Louis Art Museum this Thursday, May 18th at 11:00 AM, and again on Friday, May 19th at 6:00 PM.
