My family and I stopped and took a ride to the top of the Gateway Arch on our way back from Kansas City a few years ago. The Arch is part of the National Park System's Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and has been the icon of the St. Louis skyline since 1965. Most people have a hard time getting a good picture of the 630-foot high arch. I recommend standing fifteen feet away from one of the bases and taking the shot upward. I have one of me and the kids from this same perspective. Of course, I was almost laying flat on the ground when I took the picture because it is almost straight up. I took the shot at 18mm in order to get the widest possible angle. Click on the picture for the original size.
I like to explore black & white as well. Here is the same picture in monochrome:
