Morning Scene from Aloe Plaza- "The Meeting Of the Waters" fountain

The beauty is always in the details...

I have always been slightly obsessed with the faces of the "The Meeting of the Waters” fountain in front of Union Station, depicting the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers (and their tributaries).  

Artist Carl Milles, circa 1939.

See this lovely in front of Union Station in the 1800 block of Market Street in Downtown St. Louis.  

TIP:  To see the actual confluence of the Mighty Miss and the Missouri, visit this local "Hidden Gem" that I recently featured.  The viewing area sits at the very back end of the conservation area!
