Skyline On A Hot Summer Day

Putting a new lens through it's paces so I know how to use it.  Photos from Penn Valley Park and from Kaw Point Park.  The new lens is a Voigtlander 50mm APO manual focus.  It works well. 

 

A Crest In March 2019

 The Missouri River crest occurred Saturday March 23rd at about 35 feet.   Roughly six feet below flood stage.   I ventured down to Kaw Point to view the high water Thursday morning and evening.   Above, the super moon rising east of downtown.  Looking southeast from Kaw Point.    Below, the view from above the boat ramp which is completely covered by water.

Below, the same view as above before sunset. 

 Above and below, views Thursday morning from the Riverfront Walk at the foot of Main Street.

Above, skyline from Kaw Point... the entire foreground in this shot is normally dry. 

                      Above and below, the encroaching waters on the Kaw Point Park path.  You can see the Lewis and Clark Statue a little left of center in the above picture... that and the area just beyond it are usually totally dry.

 Below, lots of visitors to the Park to see the water.   Millions of gallons flowing silently by.

Day And Night, Kaw Point

 Above photo taken just before sunset, below, twenty minutes after sunset.  Both taken from Kaw Point.  The Kaw River is on the right flowing into the Missouri River.  Both single images taken with Nikon D850 and Nikon 28-300mm lens, ISO 64, F11, top pix 1/5th second, bottom pix 25 seconds.

End Of Day

              Boat retrieving from the Kaw River after sunset at Kaw Point Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
