City Garden, St. Louis

   If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth a trip to visit the new "Citygarden" sculpture park in downtown St. Louis. This beautiful 3-acre park is filled with interesting works of art and the landscaping and flowers are a welcome addition to the city atmosphere. Here are a few of my images from a recent visit.

Each red dot on the free park map shows where a sculpture is located. The park has three sections: the Floodplain band, the River Terrace band and the River Bluffs band each of which reflects a different topographical region found in the area.
