Wow! I am a graphic designer and am currently looking for a photo of St. Charles to be included in an ad to run in the newspaper for our company. This photo is better than any I've seen on any stock photo sites (by the way, you should sell your photos to some of those sites) and am wondering if we could possibly buy the rights to use this photo in one of our ads (with approval from my boss, of course). If you have a high resolution version of this and are interested in this possibility, (and it's cool with the rules of this site) please email me at clalpert@agedward.com.

Talk about a charming atmosphere! This photo invites me to stroll here - I would love to see it "for real".

Nice shot. I like the brick houses with the colorful doors and windows.

said bisquitzoe 2007.08.03 at 11:24:46 PDT

Beautiful photo Sharon & Bob. I love the history along these rivers in Missouri. The French have certainly left their mark along these streets. Nicely done!

said rrayr55 2007.07.27 at 18:18:13 PDT

Lovely street, look like Quebec City!

said kellimays 2007.06.17 at 18:11:11 PDT

Hi fellow Missourian, I love this picture. Before I saw this picture larger my first thought was France. I would love to vist this town someday. I love antique shops.

said bsjbrenda 2007.06.11 at 18:59:41 PDT

Beautiful!

said classeylassey 2007.06.01 at 15:52:56 PDT

Sharon, I can't believe how many people I missed last month. I can blame it on being at Bonnies, I guess. Too many things going on that month. But I love this picture. It is really beautiful. But that's nothing new for you.

said patsylaird 2007.05.31 at 15:04:43 PDT

We live near Keokuk, IA and we are frequently in your area; visiting St. Louis, going to the mall; or the airport. I love St. Charles and it's beautiful and unique shops. I love your photographs and have downloaded many, including this one. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us.

said celeste4packers 2007.05.31 at 06:51:53 PDT

Very pretty shot of this quaint looking street. I love the look & feel of it very much. You have a great eye when it comes to shooting just about everything!! Warm Hugs, Bonnie

said grma_of6 2007.05.09 at 13:28:01 PDT

What a lovely street, a place I would love to see.

said mypupk 2007.05.07 at 08:27:35 PDT

Hi Sharon! This shot reminds me of Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, except it is on the Mississippi River. We will have to explore more our next visit. Very welcoming image your town gives. Hugs, Susie

said segseven 2007.05.03 at 20:48:45 PDT

Hi photoop23: You are my very favorite photographer. I have your pics on my desktop quite often. Living in St. Louis, I can appreciate the quaint St. Charles city ~ and Main Street is the main street. This photo exemplifies the feeling of a first capitol. I love the pic, and it's on my desktop now.

said nancy3111 2007.05.03 at 18:35:42 PDT

Hi Sharon..Beautiful quaint street.

said midnightlace2 2007.05.03 at 07:53:13 PDT

This is a lovely looking city. so clean and well kept. i can imagine some wonderful night photos here with those antique street lamps.

said mtnets 2007.05.02 at 19:53:20 PDT

Another beautiful pic of nice Saint Charles or Les Petites Cotes. A very special place to live indeed. I must wait until I am back to Torino to add up my once a month pic ... Ciao from California, Roberto

said olditaliantree 2007.05.02 at 16:21:47 PDT

And now, your picturesque street is featured in home and garden! Congratulations!!!! Two features for you in a short time, that's great! Big hugs! Heinz and Kaethi

said oertlif_3 2007.05.02 at 11:59:30 PDT

What a wonderful street, so picturesque with the painted shutters and the flowers! Is it near to your home?

said oertlif_3 2007.05.02 at 03:08:27 PDT

Wow, this is an awesome shot! You have a real eye for photography. This could be used in an ad for St. Charles. I have never been there but after seeing this shot I am wanting to come for a visit. You should show this to your chamber of commerce. Jan

said vanwykdj 2007.05.02 at 02:37:26 PDT

Hi very interesting Sharon and m, beautiful olto this perspective.These small angles are very nice and also the explanation that you have given is very interesting. Giancarlo-Italy

said megaries 2007.05.01 at 02:40:23 PDT

Beautiful street. So nice to see all the flowers. It looks old with those lamp-posts and all, but it was only founded in 1965. I take it that's a typo! 1765? ;) Tony.

said a90six 2007.04.30 at 17:10:01 PDT

Sharon the history and the beauty of this street are all conveyed in your shot , it should be a postcard ..Best wishes Sandra

said sandrajacktrips 2007.04.30 at 03:38:10 PDT

A beautiful shot sooo well taken Sharon. Love the way you gave us information in your subtitle. A good example to show how it should be done. Love your way my friend. Antti sending love as usual from Portugal.

Thanks for the mini history lesson! Seems to be a great place to spend an afternoon.

said lizk65 2007.04.28 at 05:56:13 PDT

That's a very colorful and beautiful street. No wonder it's a popular tourist destination (although I can't see any tourist in this picture...)

Great photo, love the detail in the caption!
