Continuing the brief color theme of the blog are these doors on buildings in the West Bottoms. Some Photoshop manipulation of photos 1 and 3. The middle one truly is that bright. In the bottom photo about 4 feet above the "1011" a note is written on the bricks, in white paint. It says: "Friday, July 13th, 1951" with a line. That denotes the high water mark when the levee gave way and the Bottoms quickly flooded. The green doors in that pix open onto a dock which is four feet above the street level where I was standing. That's deep water.
I look atthose pictures every day at the Bunny the Newshound Gallery on St. John! I'll have to go lookin for that water mark too - that's a fer bit of H20.

Anonymous Sportster is correct. A lot of my work is on view at the Northeast News, 5715 St. John Ave., right here in Northeast KC... 64123. Shameless self promotion.
