Trees at the Archgrounds coming down

For the past couple of weeks now we here at Fox have been watching the trees come down at the Arch.  Most of these are ash trees – in danger of dying anyway due to the emerald ash borer beetle.  Its sad but necessary (I guess).  The south leg path shown in the photo below is closed off from visitors, but we have a good vantage point from here on the 18th floor.

The first photo below was taken by Zach Foppe on October 24th.  The one below that is from this morning (November 20th).
