whats that big silver rainbow loopy thing in the background of the first pic?

Well the first pic is a holy wow and it makes St. Louis look cute.

The rest of them make it un-St. Louis, the color adjustment, the angle, all the blues and greens, kind of rare seen out of other regular pics.

Beautiful aerials, Moorlands. Clear and stunning.

Years of public and private monetary investments in Forest Park are really paying off.

I suspect the Pershing-DeBaliviere corridor area (3rd photo, left) will eventually get some modest 10-15 story highrises.

BTW, that charcoal, black & white low-rise is already on Google Streetview.

Their 1960's modern arch looks like a glass ceiling...
They should build taller buildings if they want their glamorous gardens to survive.

Coastal cities are turning a bit unstable due to contemporary climate constraints. E.g. in NYC.
They're building a freaking, pathetic concrete wall cause they're scared of sea level rise, storms and consequences.
They're spending billions of dollars in this thing, but it won't be enough.

A lot people are likely to move inward before 2050. That would be my guess...
So, build taller buildings for more efficient density.

St. Louis has never been a tall city and the gardens have survived just fine since their founding in 1859 due to the city's historic low-rise density. Aside from the fact that tall buildings aren't necessary for a city's health, "they should build taller buildings" just isn't feasible when vacant land is not particularly scarce and property values don't justify the added cost of building tall. There are some tall buildings going up in the city and in city-adjacent Clayton, they're just not going up in downtown St. Louis yet.

Anyway, not a drone shot but I like this little time-lapse video looking west from Downtown West and I didn't want to start a new thread: https://twitter.com/Beganovic2022/st...CylfCFksUpAAAA

I have no idea what this means, but I love it and agree!

Tall buildings and glamorous gardens

[mrnyc]

st louis has its own pleasing variety of scattered low-rise, unlike monotonous downtown dc, or dare i say it, historic paris, despite being not as wall to wall dense as those places anymore.

Beautiful shots!
