Day 3,596 —I can see the Arch from Here—

 I decided to do a route I sometimes do but in reverse, running up Edgar and coming back across the pedestrian bridge over the highway. I was moving pretty fast for me, ready to get back home when I stopped on the bridge to look left and see the sunrise. I noticed the Arch on the skyline. You probably cannot see it in this picture, but it is there.

         It is weird how attached I have become to this monument over the years. I had a photography teacher who told me that whenever she got stuck, she would go to the Arch and take pictures. I didn’t get the appeal at the time, but now I feel different. Still, I think looking at the river is much more peaceful (I just wish it didn’t smell so bad!).
