With all the tribulations around us that your blog cannot avoid of late I thought I would share these recent photos from Forrest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. This magnificent statue of Saint Louis commemorates the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Though he failed in his crusades, Louis IX was a figure of charity and honor in the late Medieval period. He was at once a soldier and humanitarian and led (in a former sense of the word) France during a brighter period of their history.
