🏛️ Kansas Time Travel: Old Meets New in the Heartland
Two Towers Tell a Story
This unique view captures something special - the Liberty Memorial Tower (built 1926) and the Hale Library Clock Tower at K-State, each telling different chapters of Kansas history, framed by our state's favorite flower.

Nature's Frame 🌻
The sunflowers aren't just pretty - they tell stories too:

- First planted here 3,000 years ago
- Grow exactly six feet apart naturally
- Purple prairie flowers (called gayfeathers) bloom alongside
- Each sunflower head follows the sun's path
Kansas Waters 💧
That little pond between the towers:
