Kansas is in Alberta after all. Playing around with the gradient tool in Lightroom taking part of the scene there into B&W.
A beautiful dusk sky reflecting upon the glass skylights of the World War 1 Museum in Kansas City Missouri this past week where I & my lovely damsel arrived for a week to support an effort at a lab across the border in Kansas. The World War I Museum is the largest WWI museum in the United States with a remarkable collection of WWI artifacts on display which is situated beneath the massive World War I Memorial. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitkc @visitmo @wwiimemorial #omd #microfourthirds #micro43photography #sunsets #sunsetphotography

Clearing the Rock of the previous day's accumulations, a KYLE train is eastbound out of Rexford on the way to make a meet and swap at Robertson behind UTAH 5001 and KYLE 8041.
Sunset at Penn Valley Park in Kansas City with the warm hues of the setting sun contrasting with the darkening blue/violet skies creating a wonderful cacophony of colors in the sky. Penn Valley Park which overlooks Kansas City was developed by the city in 1904 on land that the Historic Santa Fe Trail had passed. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitkc #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
Another look at the heavily eroded Cretaceous Niobrara chalk formation of Monument Rocks in western Kansas. Colorado may have lots of fourteeners, but in spite of its reputation as being flatter than a pancake, Kansas at least sports a few 70 footers....
Something that hadn’t been there in my prior trips to Kansas City in 2007 was the KC Streetcars, which features free streetcars that travel throughout downtown Kansas City. The construction began in 2014 and the first KC Streetcars began service in 2016. The operator is the Kansas City Streetcar Authority. I captured this very colorfully adorned KC Streetcar by Union Station stop while photographing Union Station as it is a terminus currently. This streetcar in fact was done out in Kansas City Chiefs world champs logos. I did see that they are extending the route southward past Union Station. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitkc @kcstreetcar @unionstationkc #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography

The cleanest pair of "heavies" that I've shot so far... This was the first test pair of the new locomotives, I believe they were placed on Palos trains due to the length of the route to and from White Thunder. Maybe one of these days I'll get another set of these. We'll see.
Trying to find some rolling hills in the Flint Hills of Kansas, I opted to stop on this gravel road to catch the sunset before it left the horizon.

Kansas City, MO at sunrise in 2016, shot from Kaw Point in Kansas. At times, the crowd at Kaw point is a little rougher than I am in 2021, so I'll probably wait a while to shoot from there again. But I'd probably be okay this time of day. Not the most colorful sunrise ever, but you work with what you're given!
An abandoned farm house with no roof in central Kansas on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
I am looking forward to going back to explore Kansas soon.
The KC Street Car Power and Light stop southbound end towards Union Station as I waited for the next street car. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitkc @visitmissouri @kcstreetcar #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The elegant and classic Art Deco interior ceiling of Kansas City’s Union Station’s Grand Hall that opened in 1914. Throughout the Second World War Union Station was the scene of emotional farewells as members of the arms services departed for war or tearful welcome home reunions for the same. It is estimated that during the United States involvement in WW II over a million passed through Union Station. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitkc @unionstationkc #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The first time I drove into downtown KC in 2007 and I saw these 4 structures by the Kansas City Convention center, I wondered because of the cables attached to them if they were some support structures for a bridge or something of the sort. I noticed the tops were different on each one which perplexed me even more. While stuck in Kansas City during a weekend before Spring this year 2023 when snow in Northern California made it precipitous to travel back home to Northern Cal, I did some meandering around the area of the convention center and KC Power and Light District, I found out more. The four 300-foot-tall concrete pylons are actually pedestals for four massive stainless steel & aluminum 1930’s style Art Deco sculptures created by artist R.M. Fischer that are perched upon each. The location incidentally is atop the intersection of three major highways. A collaboration of artist R.M. Fischer and Zahner, the installation of the sculptures was done in 1994, the 300’ pylons being stood up first, and the then when Fischer had completed the sculptures, each massive sculpture was lowered onto each pylon using a heavy-duty helicopter, a Sikorsky S-64 sky crane that was designed & engineered for heavy lifting. This image of the Bartle Sky Stations as the art is known as was captured from the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts at night on a more recent trip as they are also regularly lit and very much been melded into the Kansas City skyline. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @panasonic @lumix #lx100 #lx100m2 #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography @visitkc @kehcamera @mpbcom @siruiimaging
