Panorama Photo

One of my favourite buildings in St.Louis - the Eads Bridge. Built in 1874, the bridge was once the longest arch bridge in the world. The bridge is connecting St. Louis (Missouri) and East St. Louis (Illinois). Together with some restored buildings at First Street the bridge is kind of a witness to the history of St.Louis.

I tried to take a panorama of the entire bridge with the sun behind (northwards) which is quite difficult as there's the Gateway Arch Parking complex just across Washington Ave which makes it impossible to take pictures from a reasonable distance. So finally the undertaking became also a stitching adventure... Take a look at the map and you see the challenge and don't forget to take a ride through the streets with Google Street View - it's worth the effort.
Btw. the levelling of the bridge, especially towards Illinois, isn't always straightened - so no stitching issue.
