Waning Days Of Fall On Cliff Drive

 The waterfall (Carl DiCapo Fountain ) is off for the winter now and most of the leaves are gone.  
                                    Waiting for Spring along the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway.

Crystal Morning

Ventured out early for some snow scenes.   Ended up just walking around the KC Museum.  Roads were too slick for anymore travel.  Walking was fine and the area looked beautiful 

                                                   

                                                           Above, the skyline was fogged in.
                                                         Below,  Kessler Park looked amazing.

                                             

                                                              The Museum always looks good.

Snowy homes. 

The Colonnade

I sometimes leave the house with just one lens - just for fun.  It is rarely the Nikon 10.5 DX Fisheye though.   Went to the Concourse here in Northeast Kansas City.  Built in 1907-08 and designed by architect Henry Wright - a partner of George Kessler - it graces a prominent western location on The Concourse.  The fish-eye-so named for it's kind of distortion-is not terribly practical.  But it is very sharp and fun to use in some circumstances.  It's major distortion was corrected in Photoshop..but much remains. 

Above is an image of The Colonnade not long after it was constructed ca1908. The view is west from Gladstone Boulevard.
