Saint Joseph
Japan 7 – US Army 1
Eight vintage airplanes fly in formation against a clear blue sky. White smoke trails add a dynamic element to the scene.
You’ll notice seven of the aircraft are painted with the symbols of WWII era Japanese aircraft. The last one (farthest right) shows the markings of a U.S. Army plane. Not sure why it made it into this group. This was part of a WWII warbird display at last year’s Sound of Speed airshow held at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Felix and Seventh Jazzed
A colorful mural of Jazz greats from the area adorns brightens up Coleman Hawkins Park located at the corner of Felix and Seventh streets in downtown St. Joseph, Missouri.
I used fish-eye lens to achieve the curved effect. I think it adds a unique perspective to the urban atmosphere.
The vibrant colors on the wall feature saxophone jazz legend Coleman Hawkins, Blues favorite Bugsy Maugh, well-known musical artist Jeff Luxa, a musical father and son duo Larry and Lin Buck, and Steve Walsh who is known for singing lead with the group Kansas.
