High above the rushing traffic of Interstate-670 in downtown Kansas City stand four looming towers. From these towers hang a series of wire cables - the only thing keeping Bartle Hall (the KC convention center) from crashing down upon the busy interstate below. And cresting these towers are four unusual sculptures that not only give a distinct flavor to the downtown skyline, but are also rumored to contain mystical superpowers revealed only to the person brave enough to stand atop them.
This has "Keanu Reeves action movie" written all over it.
Okay, so a few of the facts above may have been "embellished" for dramatic effect.Nonetheless, these four aluminum and steel sculptures created by artist R.M. Fischer in 1994 do add a bit of intrigue to the downtown skyline.
As for the picture itself, I originally took this shot at an angle to give it a little more motion, but liked the look of it when it was rotated and squared back up again.
The slanted black border emphasizes this "rotation back to normal."
