Would that be the Gold Fish lens? :-) Wow, that 1st shot is quite stunning.
I like it very, very much. Great work, Rick, with the exposure in the lower
light with that K10D. Very nicely done. Cheers, Christine

The MetroLink rail system runs from East St. Louis, across the Mississippi
River, through St. Louis and out to Lambert Airport, with a spur to the
western suburb of Shrewsbury. It is an excellent service, and crowded
even on a Saturday. It is mostly above ground, but has occasional tunnels
or tunnel-like stations in cuts:

Downtown, the line uses old brick railroad tunnels from the 1850s (IIRC),
then an old railroad viaduct beneath a highway bridge across the river:

Unfortunately the transit authority decided to build the spur to
Shrewsbury with borrowed money, without waiting for Federal and state
grants, and the system is in financial distress. Sigh.
