Historic Northeast Mini-Mansions Volume 1

 I've driven or ridden past 3911 Sunrise Drive for decades and always wanted to see inside.
It's now on the market so I got my chance.   It's advantageous working with realtors :)

 This house and it's virtual twin next door west were built in 1927.   Don't know the names of the first owners but they liked quality.

 This house is rock solid and surprisingly spacious.

 Above, the tile in the front walkway was left-over bits and pieces from the construction of the roof.

 Above two, the living room.  Below, the parlor.

 Above and below the dining room.

 I think the rest of these rooms are self-explanatory.    All photos taken with the Nikon D800 on a tripod.  Nikon 14-24mm lens.  ISO 800.  F13 multiple exposures using LiveView to minimize camera shake and merged using software.  5 shots for each image.

 Below, the second floor rooms.

 Above, the garage door is on the back of the house and leads to the basement.  Plenty of room for two smaller cars.

Eric B has the listing.  See it here:   http://www.ericbsellskc.com/HEARTLAND/IDX104-4742939/MO/City/Kansas-City/Type/Single-Family/MLSNO-1781307/3911-Sunrise-Drive-Kansas-City-MO-64123/01001,852&ret=L0hFQVJUTEFORC9JRFgxMDQtNDc0MjkzOS9NTy1LUy9BZGRyZXNzLzM5MTEtc3VucmlzZS1kcml2ZStuYS9UeXBlL0FsbC9saXN0aW5ncz9TZWFyY2hPcHQ9MSZrZXlvcHQ9MSZ0aWQ9JnFzPTAmaGRyPTAxMDAxLDg1Mg==

Miss Missouri Teen

 Amber is heading to Nationals so we had fun with a shoot in Loose Park.  Perfect weather.

 Nikon D800 for all.  Fill flash on some, others all natural light.  The one immediately below was done with camera set to jpeg fine in portrait mode.    I always shoot RAW though for more editing opportunities.   Nikon 70-200mm lens for most... last two are 24-70mm.   ISO 100 and 400.

Random

 Three shots from Columbus Park and one from Scarritt Renaissance.

 Above and below, the Mother Church, Holy Rosary.

 Below, the Wallace House behind the Kansas City Museum.

Nikon D800, Nikon 24-70mm lens, top three F4, ISO 100, exposure varied.  Bottom one F16, ISO 800, multiple shots sandwiched...

Old Reservoir, Fairly New Waterfall

 Fiddling with the camera.  Above and below the Carl Dicapo Fountain by the Eastern entrance to Cliff Drive.    Above, Nikon D800, 24-70mm lens at 35mm, ASA 100, manual focus and used live view to eliminate camera shake from the mirror.  F22 at 1/4th.    Below, same settings but ISO 50, and 1/2 second.  70mm.  Tripod.

 The old City Reservoir also in Kessler Park.  Seven photos stitched together.  ISO 100, F5.6 at 1 125th.   Handheld.

The folks in Pendleton Heights have been working to clear the Reservoir of brush... but it's a bruising task.... this structure is huge...operated roughly from 1920 to 1925 it was used to furnish water for industrial purposes to the East Bottoms.

A Stroll Through Berkley Park

 Walking along the Missouri River in the grass I managed to find all the chiggers that Donna Allen Wood has been missing on the Flying W Ranch.   But worth it.  Beautiful day, nice clouds, and good vistas.

 Nikon D800, 24-70mm lens, ISO 800 and ISO 100, multiple photos sandwiched.  

 Showing the ASB Bridge, above, and the Bond Bridge below.
