Nocturnal Wanders - West Bottoms

Visiting the past at night is always interesting. When even warehouses were treated as art. 

 

Trains Of Thought

The rail lines in the West Bottoms used to bring thousands of cattle into the stockyards each day.

That time is long past, but the lines are still heavily used for freight.  Great place for train watching.

Foggy River Town

 

The City was mystical yesterday as the fog rolled in and stayed.  Above and below, the Richardson-Graham Bridge over Anderson Road in Northeast Kansas City.  

All shots below are of Kaw Point.  The Kaw River is on the right, the Missouri River on the left.  The skyline of Kansas City is normally visible right in the center.  

How Low Can Mo Go

The river is always lower at this time of year as much water is tide up in ice further north.  But

I've never seen it this low. 

All of this land is normally under water . 

 

                                           Stuff is starting to show up....that used to be underwater.
