Fall Foliage at Kansas City’s Cliff Drive

Foliage and tree photos along Cliff Drive Tuesday evening. I’ve noticed a few fall photos cropping up from other photographers so I figured if I’m going to get any I’d better head out soon, but it looks like at least half of everything is either dead or still green, so there’s not a whole lot […]

Around Grand Avenue in Downtown KC

Shots from around Grand approaching Truman Road then over to the Star’s printing press building. A follower on Twitter noted I should have gotten a shot of the cracked window with a bullet hole through it – that would have made it even more grand. But this will have to do.

Downtown Kansas City From Near 24th and Troost

Skyline shots and such with my telephoto lens taken by the Troost Bridge just north of 24th and Troost heading into downtown Kansas City. It was kind of an aimless night and that’s why there’s so many here of similar composition.

Downtown Kansas City Around 20th & McGee

I thought this would be a new and maybe interesting place for angles on the city. I might have been wrong as this part of downtown Kansas City is one urban planning blunder after another, but I tried to make something decent looking from it. There are weeds growing out of the sidewalks and a […]

Last week I took advantage of parts of the fencing around the burned out Horace Mann School at 39th & Euclid/Garfield having been removed, so I went trespassing for photos.
