Well at least they got the column of light right:
The rest seems to include a considerable amount of artistic interpretation. For starters, any rock column or butte or mountain or, uh, (far more likely) minor hill or river bluff around here would be maybe 1/20th the height of the ones shown, at very most.
The giant land squid is scaled about right, though.
Here’s the article:

It’s something Kansas City Manager Brian Platt has been saying privately for nearly two years, and now he’s acknowledging it on the record: He would push to close Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport if it continues to be hard for developers to construct high-rise apartment buildings in the airport’s flight paths over River Market and downtown.
That would be an unpopular move among the top Kansas City businesses that use the airport . . .
There has been some recent talk about repurposing it. Not only does it use a huge chunk of ground right in the middle of the downtown area - some of the most valuable land in the state - but also it puts crimp on the height of buildings in the whole area surrounding airport itself.
So I don’t know how serious it is, but I’ve been hearing some chatter.
Assuming the Santos seat flips Democrat, the house goes from 222-213 to 221-214.
So a 9 vote margin to a 7 vote margin.
It is mighty thin indeed…
For comparison, in the previous Congress the Democratic majority mostly ranged from 218 to 222 (for the last couple of weeks of 2022 it was as low as 216-213 due to resignations etc). See
