St.Louis: The Gateway Arch


(The above photo is not doing justice to the structure being discussed :-D)

The Gateway arch in St.Louis, Missouri is a wonderful engineering structure. Its 'Wonderful' for the reason being that this was constructed during 1968's time. And during that time, the stainless steel structure was shaped up without any highly sophisticated techniques. Its 630 feets high and at the same time having the foundation of the same dimension.
The best part of it is the train inside this structure which takes to the top of it. At the top, windows are provided to have a look at both the sides of the city. Its a great view from the top.
