Nine days into a cross country road trip, I stopped in Kansas City, Missouri to see Union Station. It was pouring when I arrived, but when the rain eased up later on, I ventured out to photograph exteriors. The humidity was intense, but I wanted to see a bit more of Kansas City. The Link is an image I made during that excursion.

Ascending the parking exit ramp, I beheld an excellent semi-cylindrical structure and pulled over to shoot it from my car window. The Western Auto sign atop the building is encircled by an arrow. Since the sign is not parallel to the flat side of the brick edifice, it draws attention to the building's curved design.

The exit ramp's decorative concrete railing angles across the foreground beginning in the lower left corner of the frame. Aside from a few much shorter buildings to the left of the Western Auto building, the background is sky with a few clouds.

Within the various shades of gold, black, and blue ripples are DNA sequences, crocodile skin, cell membranes, the wavy lines of a Post-Impressionist oil painting, and the pattern building blocks of Gustav Klimt and Chuck Close. With more time, you're sure you'd make sense of all the intermingling elements you see.

The graceful stone arc at the lower left of the photograph, could it be that simple? The edge of a basin? Yes! You're looking at ripples of fountain water illuminated by late afternoon sun. A simple vertical spray disrupts the water surface creating all the patterns.

Just because it's real doesn't mean you can't still get lost in the image though.
