Description
Marble staircase at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.
The Nelson-Atkins is a fabulous museum. There's no way it can be done in one day. We gave about a third of the place a quick once-over lightly, and enjoyed every minute of it!

What elegance! Ball gowns optional, I hope.
Such a beautiful staircase indeed. Awesome soft shot.
I'm loving the softness and shine; beautiful shot!
I like the B&W look. Very nicely captured.
very elegant staircase .. beautiful !
Very nice shot!!
superbe ophoto!!
Great B&W capture!
OH, this is so beautiful--I can almost see Loretta Young gliding down those stairs in one of her flowing gowns!!
Just a staircase but so elegant. Black and white is perfect for this. The reflection adds a nice touch.
Excelent compo. I can see where you came from and where you might go. Great mono shine.
Beautiful! It reminds me of Art Deco design.
That looks wonderful!
This is dreamy and ethereal, but also solid and very, very real. I love the shine that everything has, the simple and elegant lines. Black and white gives it a timeless look. Maybe you took this picture in the 21st century, maybe you took it way back when--well, before you were born, which would be a feat, but not impossible given certain temporal loopholes. At any rate, this is one of those timeless images I like so much, and apropos of nothing, I can see this as a part of a set, maybe of a re-re-re-imagined version of Dune with members of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood flowing up and down those stairs in their flowing black robes. Marvelous!
Great shot!
Very nice looking image!
Very elegant and a treasure to be kept maintained!
What a beautiful staircase nice capture Tara..
I love your stairway captures. Great lighting.
Glorious place Tara and the image - wow! Award winning!!!
beautiful !
The art on the walls and displayed in all the ways museums do...is so well done. But the building itself is a work of art. This stairway is a perfect example of the fine design and materials used during its' construction in the early 1930s. AND, you've captured the essence of this stairway to a "T". Well done. :*
Everything's up to date in Kansas City, They've gone about as fur as they can go..... Fine focal and lighting effects in this B & W capture.
Now that, just looks beautiful.. Love this picture, a great look and style.. Rob
Nice shot...
I love your postwork! Stairways and doorways - leading to more intrigue! Clive
I love staircases and this one is particularly beautiful and well captured.
