Pretty much straight out of the camera for this pre-sunset image as the Missouri River is cresting near Kansas City from the heavy rains in the Northern States.

The New York Life Building is a historic 12-story high-rise building, in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The building was completed in 1890 and is generally is regarded as Kansas City's first skyscraper. It is also notable for being the first building in Kansas City that was equipped with elevators. It was commissioned by the New York Life Insurance Company, who would later use the same design for their new building in Omaha that was completed in 1889.
The building was designed by Frederick Elmer Hill of the New York City architecture firm of McKim, Mead & White.

Kansas City, Missouri

This is on the outskirts of the historic West Bottoms district in Kansas City, Missouri. Many of the original brick buildings are still standing but most are abandoned. This area was the center of the cattle industry in Kansas City during the late 19th and early 20th centuries...there was a huge stock yard that has long since been torn down. The area was serviced by an extensive rail network which shipped beef in and out to and from all over the United States. There are plans to revitalize the area with apartments and shopping and indeed the abandoned building in the background will soon be demolished to make room for apartments. I hope whoever develops this area maintains as much of the historic flavor as possible. Captured with my Fuji GW690ii on Shanghai GP3 100, 220 film. Developed with Xtol at 1:1.
