Our Hall On A Hill

Corinthian Hall, 1910,  sits atop a high point in Northeast Kansas City.  The above shot was taken from Reservoir Hill, another scenic attraction in the neighborhood.  It's now the Kansas City Museum. 

 

Fall On Cliff Drive

 View of KC from the top of Goose Neck (the rode from Gladstone Boulevard down to Cliff Drive.)
              Like all the trees in the city this year, the ones along Cliff Drive are showing their finery.

Cliff Drive Fall

Not as colorful as last year, but certainly appealing. The Cliff Drive Scenic Byway getting ready for winter.

Artsy Fall

When reality just isn't enough.

Muted Fall

A dry late summer, especially September, has stressed the trees to the point that they, in most cases, are just going from green to brown and dropping to the ground. Unlike last year when there was an extended display of color. I also haven't had time to take any fall images.... but here are a few from today. Above, from Scarritt Point looking west .... below a colorful tree next to the Point.... all shots taken with the Nikon D3 at ASA 200, 24-70mm or 70-200mm lenses at varying apertures... processed in Photoshop.





Unfortunately, most of the leaves this year are like the one above... a touch of red and dead.

Blue, Gold and Wispy White

On a mission to walk 2.5 miles everyday this week.... intend to lose weight or die in the attempt. Deep blue skies and fast moving clouds ruled the day. Bottom pix are of Corinthian Hall again... which has roses that seem to bloom forever. All Nikon D3 and 70-200mm zoom f5.6 to 22 ASA 400 shot at minus one third stop.









Don't know whether the above saucer was taking off or landing........
