Downtown In Black And White - 2007

                      Took a photo-stroll through downtown right after completion of the Sprint Center.

Walking Through The Cemetery - Elmwood 1872

                                            You walk amongst thousands, yet not a sound. 

Elmwood Cemetery in Northeast Kansas City.  Consecrated in 1872.  This Saturday (4/22/23) is a      day for volunteers to help clean up the cemetery.  Elmwood Cemetery Society:             https://elmwoodcemeterykc.org                   

Urban Black and White

                                                 Back to basics with black and white. 
 

Day, Night, Black and White

Kansas City Skyline from the Summit Street Bridge on the West Side 

Shot above and shot below are the same. Just converted to Black and white. 

 

No Swimming Or Wading

      "Nice" weather prompted a trek to Kaw Point.  Icy, cold, and gray: perfect for black and white.

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. 

 

 

City In The Snow

Two views of the skyline taken two years ago.  Above, from Kaw Point and, below, from the Kansas City Museum in Historic Northeast. 

Union Cemetery

Union Cemetery is the oldest public burial site in Kansas City created in 1857.  It's called "Union" because it was a joint project of the Town of Kansas and West Port.  Landlocked now it is surrounded by the upscale development of Union Hill.  McCoy, Alexander, George Caleb Bingham, McGee, Smart...all famous Kansas City names and are buried here.

 "Cindarella" is the name on this marker.   Very close to the fairy tale name.  But spelled differently.

                               Above, currently under construction, more apartments/townhomes.

                             The tower of Our Lady of Sorrows off to the right in the background. It stands next to Hallmark.

                                                      Frank, above, was "murdered."

                                            Mamee was all by herself off in the northern section.

                                                           Above, "Poor lonely babies."

                                               Above, Revolutionary War participant's stone.

   As one would expect there are many, many children's graves.  Life was very unpredictable.  I think these are the saddest of sights in a cemetery.

                         Four mausoleums are in Union three occupied and one with space available.

 Below, space available...
