St. Louis in the central United States is located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and is named after King Louis IX of France. The most famous landmark in St. Louis is the Clavier Gate on the Mississippi River, which is very beautiful at sunrise.

Forest Park

Lavender and Sun

Meet in Forest Park in St. Louis in winter. Walking in Forest Park, passing by the History Museum, Art Museum, Zoo, and Science Museum. Along the way, there are people running in shorts, cyclists, fishermen by the lake, and people playing golf and tennis... There is such a large forest park in the city center, and there are many places for entertainment. People regard exercise and enjoying the sun and outdoor air as part of their lives. I am a little embarrassed to wear a sweater and trousers.
