Great pictures!  You know, it hard to believe that something like that is in Kansas City.  With the way some of those pictures look, it looks like something that belongs in a foreign country.

THIS is Kansas City???  Wow!

They stuck this glass wall up, ostensibly to keep little kids from running around on the roof of this structure.  From what I have seen I can say that its effectiveness appears to = 0.  God forbid american parents would be expected to keep them under control in public.

This is my favorite set of all of your pics that I've seen so far.  The technique you use in combination with glow of the new buildings gives amazing results.

Lovely, lovely photographs -

Question.  Do the lights come on slowly?  Or  - Boom - they're on.  It looks like initially they are not all on.

The addition looks just like the glowing model I saw before construction.  They look great in that light!

Haha, the first time I was there and saw it, I immediately wanted to jump over it... and I'm in my 20s?!?!?!?!?  I can just imagine what that would do to a child... a younger one...  :D

You need to be taking pictures for a magazine and getting paid for it.
