Kansas City Walls: Photo Essay
In Kansas City there are other walls you might think are more interesting. In this collectiion I deliberately haven’t included the Plaza or the Bottoms, the Boulevard or downtown, but trust me - I spend a lot of time looking at walls - this set is very representative of a lot of the metro KC area, in both states.
What I find particularly interesting about the Kansas City walls compared to say Dublin’s walls, is how much cleaner they are, even in the tacky parts of town (like where I live). And the sun shines on KC walls more.
Anyway, judge for yourself. The first five photos are above the fold, and then click for the rest.

Hmmm… yep. After living in San Francisco for a few years it definitely is the grey I miss. But not enough to go back to just yet. The blue skies, although ubiquitous, put me in a great mood. And theres always the summer fog to remind me what I miss. Your photographs are beautiful
Thanks madnessburgers, though I only like a little bit of blue sky myself, then it gets me down and bores the pants off me. I find the grey skies more vibrant and alive. Oh well, blue skies make better photos.
In Kansas City we might only get a fog one day a year - though the smoke on the fourth of July is quite similar.
Eolai: I want to ask you something. Would you please drop a line to my email.
[…] from my photos of Dublin Walls and of Kansas City walls, you already knew I liked walls, so here are some […]
a couple of these remind me of Westport Glass, which is right by where I grew up, and which I frequented with my mom when she was getting prints ready to deliver. I did mention my mom is an artist right? And how redundant is it to say I completely love your blog.
