I really appreciate the architecture of these old stations. Your edit and photo really do this justice. Very nice!

Nice shot! An interesting place.

It's an old, old town near St. Louis, at the junction of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. It was the departure point for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Old downtown has become kind of a tourist area; interesting shops and good restaurants. A small but well-appointed museum is down by the river.

That is the kind of place I like to walk around and explore.

Getting a good shot of the station isn't easy with all of the distractions/people. I tried one summer, but too many people. Have you been to the fall festival time with the street characters?

Yes. I have a granddaughter who loves to collect the cards they hand out. Her daddy is just as enthusiastic about getting a complete set. When she was five, "Scrooge" met her and they got along really well, even to where she was shouting "Bah, Humbug!"

Nice shots. I've been there many times and there are so many things to photograph. Very nice area.
