A Walk In The Mist

Impossible to not take photos in the fog... opportunity doesn't arrive that often.  These shots were
                        taken in Kessler Park and on the Concourse and in the Colonnade.  

All shots taken with the Nikon D850 and Nikkor 28-300mm lens.  ASA 500. 

 

 

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. 

                                                                           And...today.

Colonnade and Snow

 The snow didn't amount to much Wednesday night... but I headed up to the Colonnade during the "storm" anyway.   This was at about 8pm.

Chalk Walk 2013

 Pretty much rained out on Saturday, Chalk Walk came roaring back on Sunday with artists making concrete efforts in design and imagery.   Held each year at the Concourse it's put together by Northeast Arts KC.
