Description
"Downtown Kansas City from Liberty Memorial Tower" by Catherine Sherman.
You can climb the Liberty Memorial to get a great view of Kansas City, Missouri. Here Union Station is shown with the downtown skyline, including the four Bartle Hall Pylons on the left and the iconic Western Auto sign on the right. This is an early Autumn view as the trees are beginning to change colors.
Opened in 1914, Union Station serves Kansas City, Missouri, and the surrounding metropolitan area. Closed for years, but it was restored, reopening in 1999 as a series of museums and other public attractions. In 2002, Union Station saw its return as a train station when Amtrak began providing public transportation services and has since become Missouri's second-busiest train station.
If you look carefully you can see people sitting on the lawn in the foreground, where clouds cast shadows on the newly mowed grass.

I enjoyed looking at this K.C. scene, as I grew up there, and used to like to go to Liberty Memorial.
