thru the straw bales. my aunt took me here when i was 12 and i remember flying down the hill and praying i could get off the sled in time
grand hall in the art museum
my attempt at being creative with my photography
looking from the grand basin up to the art museum
the art museum is free and on
sunday we went on a guided tour. we toured with people from new york,
florida keys and
hong kong. they were all amazed there was no admission fee.
there is a charge for the opera, but most of the places in forest park are free
