A few hundred meters from  the Gateway Arch is another St. Louis landmark, 
the Old Courthouse.  Its  main (dubious) claim to fame is the Dred Scott case 
of 
the 1840s, in which a  slave sued for his freedom on the grounds that he had 
been for a time in a free  state.  He lost in the US Supreme Court in 1846.

I found it very  poignant that Barack Obama held a 100,000-person rally in 
October whose  backdrops were the Arch and the Old Courthouse.

A view with the  Arch:

===============
That reflected shot is totally  cool. I like combos like that, old and new. 
And I like wavy reflections too.  Well done! I also like it with the arch (same 
reasons, juxtaposition, but sans  reflection).
