Monica Kettenhofen - Photography (Buildings)

Descriptions of photographs are located under the images.

These two photographs are images of the inside of Union Station in Kansas City, MO. It was a rather busy railroad station in the turn of the last century. It was vacant for quite awhile until the late 80s, early 90s, when they revamped the whole thing. Now it has a theater, post office, shops, restaurants, "Science City", an IMAX - overall, pretty cool.

This is my artistic side coming out - odd angle looking up at Liberty Memorial in downtown Kansas City.

This is the old mental hospital at Osawatomie, Kansas. It probably hasn't been used since the 70s or 80s and is probably haunted. Too bad I couldn't take pictures of the inside, but cops were everywhere.

This is inside Union Station in St. Louis. The old train station was turned into a shopping center decades ago.

This is inside the older part of the Hyatt hotel attached to Union Station in St. Louis. This is the Lounge.

The St. Louis Arch, up close and personal. This is one of my personal favorites of my photography. Trying for some exotic new angles, I think this one turned out excellent.

Another photograph of the St. Louis Arch, this one done more "traditional". Still beautiful - this is one gorgeous architectural structure (and I'm terrified of heights).
