out of curiosity: anyone recognize the thing in my userpic?

Up until about 5 seconds ago, I always saw it as a semi reflective surface, with a rim. Just now I realized it looks like something that looks like the St. Louis arch with the dark sky behind it.

Bingo!

It is in fact a photograph of the Thomas Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, commonly known as the St. Louis Arch.

Even knowing what it is I can't see it. *squint* Which part of it is it?

I took the photo from very close to one of the supports, looking up. The arch is triangular in cross-section with a vertex pointing in/down so that one could stand on the flat top of the arch (if one could somehow get up there). I'm standing a little off center so that only one face of the triangle is visible until well into the bend.
