Underneath I-70 in the West Bottoms
Earlier this week I dropped off some old computer parts at the Surplus Exchange recycling place in the West Bottoms under I-70 – and a couple days later I went back for photos figuring something could be done as far as photos go. For these I used just my telephoto lens, instead of my frequent [...]
Under the 12th Street Bridge
From walking around the part still blocked off to car traffic, underneath the 12th Street Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Kansas City’s West Bottoms at Sunset
Photos from the edge of the Quality Hill area near the 12th Street Bridge in downtown Kansas City MO looking westward toward the West Bottoms at sunset. Below: hint – it’s tilted so that the trains at the bottom are in a straight line.
West Bottoms Train Crossings

West Bottoms seen from Case Park

Twelfth Street Bridge Imposing
Last Sunday in the West Bottoms I thought it would be fun to try and see about bringing out the 12th Street Bridge meanness while a train passed beneath.
West Bottoms Sunrise – No Photo Show
Something almost random I took at the 12th Street Bridge in the West Bottoms at sunrise back in October that I never got around to posting. There’s some long-exposure train motion in there which was why I ran over to compose as quickly as I could and try and get a shot. NO PHOTO SHOW [...]
The 12th Street Bridge From My Back Seat
Like I noted on Monday, it can be fun to take pictures of outdoor things from inside something. I got the idea to take an HDR photo of something from inside my car after seeing this fun photo from Times Square. In my case it was the 12th Street Bridge in KCMO at sunrise on [...]
