And Darkness Descended Over the Land

                                                         Before the eclipse and at peak.  

 

Liberty Memorial Never Disappoints

                               Visited Liberty Memorial last night I always enjoy the view of the City.

Super Bowl Eve

Urban July

City view from Liberty Memorial.  First shot is a panorama; three shots stitched together in Photoshop.  Huge file but lots of detail.    Second shot is just one. Minimal processing in PS... used a polarizer on the Nikkor 24-70mm lens Nikon D850 body.

Visiting Old Haunts

Visited Liberty Memorial last week just for old times sake... got a couple of shots... above is a panorama composed of five vertical shots stitched together.  The resulting image is 27" by 57".
Gives great detail.   Other pix below are just one shot each.

Couldn't Decide

    Having taken two images at the Liberty Memorial, I couldn't decide whether to go vertical or
                                               horizontal.... so, when in doubt, do both.

Liberty Memorial

Visited the Liberty Memorial today. Decided black and white was the way to go... with one exception.

In Remembrance and Celebration

After lunch at Ponaks' with The Kid and The Boyfriend (hers) I headed over to Liberty Memorial. Good crowd on hand to tour the Museum and see the exhibits of military vehicles and equipment.

Above, Vietnam era guide explained the gear used at the time.... same stuff that Hyper used.
Above, lots of vets on hand to give personal remembrances of what it was like.....
Below... the WWII scooter and motorcycle display was very popular....




The Walk of Fame is in place now.... divided up by conflicts and services.







Trips to the top of the Memorial were extremely popular... the line was even longer when I left.


Above, the Kauffman Performing Arts Center is coming right along.... due to open in 2011.
Above, looking south, below the fountain from above.

Looking west into KK..... while a little warm it was a beautiful day.... the clouds were gorgeous.
On the way back to the car the Scooter crowd was even bigger.
