Flowing Light

Concourse Fountain in Northeast Kansas City at sundown 12/16/17

Location Scouting

Was forced to visit one of my favorite places on Monday... Kauffman Gardens..... I have two bridal portraits there next week.... wanted to make sure that things were as they usually are... gorgeous. Something new every year. Enjoy.

I'd post a couple of the bridal portraits next week... but sneaky grooms can't be trusted... and no one sees the dress ahead of time... except me and moms.

After 110 Years, New Again

In 1899 George Kessler and John VanBrunt designed and had constructed the Ninth Street Fountain. It was at the entrance to the grand expanse of beautiful park construction down the center of Paseo Boulevard. The fountain quit working in the 1940s and despite several attempts to bring it back to life only this week was the redesigned fountain ready for service.

Now known as the "Women's Leadership Fountain" the north side of the fountain fronts on Ninth Street. This is the view looking south.



Illuminated by period lighting the fountain is even more elegant at night.


Looking northwest.


Looking north. The entrance to the Paseo Bridge (now closed for construction) is only three blocks from here.
