Memorial Day - Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

5/25/2014 - Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery located just of the banks of the Mississippi river in St. Louis is one of the National Cemetery Administrations oldest interment sites, the first burial occurring in 1827. It started as military post in 1826 and formally established as a national cemetery in 1866.

Across the Dock - Creve Coeur

5/23/2014 - 4:30 am the forecast says overcast; should I, should I not?? 5:11 am peek out of blinds, holly.. couple of minutes and I'm out. Imaging if I could move this fast all the time. 5:25 am at the lake, see a couple of runners so I'm not the only breaking the park hours rules, good. I'm running too. Setup, do a couple of test shots. 5:32 am the spectacle is on. Zoom in, zoom out, pan for a panorama, throw on the big stopper, couple of glass swaps 5:38 it's over. Nothing like learning from experience and doing better than last time. 6:00 am card is downloaded and another cup of tea. 7:45 am what a start to the holiday.
