Whenever Mike posts an image of his part of the world and its rural history, I am reminded of trips to the farm and the found memories they hold. It is a great way to start the week.
Nice description. It is large and impressive as well. Many features on it that appear to be made up as they went. Kind of thrown together in a functional free wheeling way.
Thank you.
I live in a rural area, although my town is a college town. There are some photos to be had but I worry if I didn’t take them all this summer.
And thank you Marion.
Beautiful photo. I believe that is more commonly called a grain elevator, or simply an elevator, at least that’s the case in MT and MN where I’ve lived. Silos are the tall cylindrical shaped grain storage, looking like an 18 oz. beer can.
Good distinction. I fear that my upbringing in New York City combined with senility renders me at a great disadvantage in trying describe things of a rural nature. And thank you for the comment Kathy.
Oh that’s wonderful! I can almost see it when it was a productive place. Fabulous picture Mike. As usual! Muah

The building is surreal in composition–it has am almost reverent quality. You can sense the the labor expended throughout its use.

Wow, that is a huge building. It looks like it might collapse like a card house. Good composition, Mike. You must live in a photograph-heaven area
