While visiting, St. Louis I went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens to see the Chinese Lantern Festival. The skies were a bit threatening but the rain was holding off as the sun was setting. Unfortunately, the cloudy skies ruined my plan to photograph the lantern displays at the perfect time where the lights are visible and there is still color in the sky. The alternative was to wait for the lightning to illuminate the sky. It's tricky and takes a lot of patience and a quick finger on the tricker. This one is the best I managed. Not bad.
I missed that lightning storm, but caught that exhibition, thanks for sharing your pictures and thoughts of St Louis.
