Our temperatures have finally gotten about freezing for a few days, and Friday actually made it into the 50s! So we decided to take a short road trip to Kimmswick, MO, and have a late lunch at a restaurant we'd been recommended. And snagged the first decent photos I've taken this February:
Looking down the Mississippi River from the landing at Kimmswick. The river was pretty low, but I think it was pretty typical for this time of year.

Star Anchor supporting one of the buildings, The Barber Haus, originally 1872.

Just the kind of thing I notice...

Train bridge over Rock Creek (still frozen). With the Mississippi River just visable

Keystone Bridge Company, from 1874. The oldest known wrought iron span in Missouri. Originally placed across the River des Peres at Ivory Avenue. It remained there until 1928 when it was replaced by a new bridge. The bridge was moved to Kimmswick and put in place in 1930. The bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic and is located at the intersection of Mill Street and Front Street.
