This is an image of my hometown: St. Louis, Missouri.

This photo represents all the people who live in the St. Louis area. You can see all the lights in the city buildings, and just looking at these lights you can imagine all the people going about their lives when this picture was taken. This picture also shows the Arch, and when people think of St. Louis one thing that always comes to mind is the arch. Because St. Louis is considered "The Gateway to the West", the arch represents how this city is that gateway. One thing that this picture does not show, is all the culture that comes with a city with three major sports teams: the Blues, the Cardinals, and the Rams. Because all these teams have their games in the area where this picture was taken, on game days the city is transformed into a huge tailgating party. The streets fill to the brim with people, all in their gameday colors. It turns the city into one big happy family, because it gives us all something in common. Something else you don't see in this picture is the poverty. St. Louis is a major city, so it does have some bad areas, but you don't see the poverty when you look at this picture.
