There's a strange sense of unreality about this, and I don't know why. The use of shades is very beautiful, maybe it's the silence it creates that makes it seem dreamlike.

@cat: thank you cat. i agree that there is an unreal feeling here. i felt it when i was there. in part i think it has to do with being at these urban/industrial places when they're empty, but i'm not sure.

So there are curves in Kansas City buildings! :-) What an intriguing shot -- something about how that building is trapped, closed in.

All those sweeping clean lines and then in the far left a cluster of busy stuff which makes the lines and shapes seem even larger, smoother, cleaner. Wonderful composition. And a happy Thanksgiving to you Grant!

This shot has a special appeal for its simplicity. The major shapes and even the road contribute to a horizontal flow of lines. Strong shot in my book!

Wonderful. The subtle curves/tire tracks in street are added bonus to awesome compo. Excellent tones, too.

Wonderfully composed and captured, so much to see in this its a feast for the eyes, the lines of the roads, building powerlines, and then the curves of the tire marks, another wonderful capture always a pleasure to see your new posts

The patterns and curve really draw in your attention to this image. Great angle and view with this shot. Like the bw processing, great work.

What a clean fence, surprising it's not crowded with banners and ads. Nice shot.
