Zoom in. See the dots? Those are windows. Source: I've been inside twice

Being from the Lou and seeing this pretty much everyday it still impresses me. Lovely shot.
BilldeGrasseHawkingTheArchaeologist
I used to live near there and it never loses its wonder, from my experience <3

I took almost an identical photo when I was there

How long is it expected to last? Will people be blaming aliens for it in a thousand years?

I briefly lived in STL in the late 90s (I've got a thing for the arch). Went back recently for a biz trip (1st in 10 yrs)and was impressed.

When I was a kid, I thought people rode in a roller coaster car on the outside to get to the top.
biglovetravis
Great photo. Is an amazing structure and WAY bigger than most people imagine.
brushybrushy
Did you ride the little car inside to the very top? Is coooool.
sniffinbikeseats
So claustrophobic. And worth every cent.
sunionbroman
My brain thinks this is hovering above the clouds and we're looking down at the ocean, which gives me anxiety and am planning how to hold on

to me it looks like Master Chief is going to start kicking some alien ass any moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6JK3fhYE1w

How do they keep the fucker clean? Nano coating (to have it cleaned by rain) hasn't really been around back when they put it up, hasn't it?

I quite enjoy your arrangement of pixels. They arouse me

Even as someone who sees it almost daily, it still blows my mind how they did it. So cool.
skubczar
looks like Defiance to me

I scrolled all the way down, determined to find this comment! Thank you internet stranger!

For a sec I thought it was a Halo ring
definitelynotamuffin
wow these halo graphics are so realistic
JumpingBalogna
Was about to make a halo reference as well. Good thinking!
hillbillyal
Fun fact the gateway arch is equal in height and width, even though it doesnt appear so to the naked eye.
JustAnotherCynicToo
I can believe it. Seeing how it's half a kinda-oval.
CatPoopie
The shape is known as a catenary curve; y = k cosh(x/k)

Ah, Irisa, how did I love thee?
TheStateVsThomasLight
Scrolled too far for Defiance reference.
FlightRisk3154
Yup, was I really the only person to like that show? same as Revolution, Terra Nova, Stargate Universe. The list goes on too far.
SideEffectsOfJuice
Terra Nova... now I'm sad! Did you have to mention it?!
FlightRisk3154
Haha, it really was a good show. I don't know why it wasn't picked up
Putin0nTheRitz
I have been there twice and I'm still amazed at the sheer height of it
CrocodileDunphy
Height is actually same as width for the arch
Buckbeak1486
Is it all one piece of metal?
FishingForConversation
It was segmented when put together, but it's solid now. There's an elevator that runs to the top so tourists can look at the city
RWM90
There's a super small creepy scary elevator*
jjbeanboy
Feels like sitting in a clothes dryer
biglovetravis
Exactly! At 6'4" it feels like a moving crypt.
Putin0nTheRitz
6'3" and can confirm
HickLife
I used to drive under it everyday when I ran drugs through St. Louis. It's amazing
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
There's no road under it?
FlatPlutoSociety
He was on some REALLY good drugs.
stevenwonder
it is the road
HickLife
I ran drugs. I couldn't use roads.
