Plainsky

An abandoned grain elevator, a lot of horizon, and even more sky are three things I quite enjoy finding in one convenient location. (Within an hour of when I made this shot, the sky had cleared completely. I am happy that the clouds stuck around long enough.)

Weigh House

In May of 2014, this place was sturdy enough that I walked inside and took this picture of the scales. The other day, the scales were still there but most of the floor and a good part of the ceiling had given way. Good thing I went inside in 2014, I guess.

Stay Off

I did what the spray-painted warning told me: I stayed off the private property. (There was nothing said about not making a photograph.)

This is the last of the snow pictures; you’re probably relieved. But don’t you wonder what tomorrow will bring?

the other side of progress

Out on the edge of town, buildings are vanishing at a surprising pace: they are in the way of a new road, an outer loop around town.

Blowout

The same exploded silos, from another angle. (I liked the look of them, which I am pretty sure you have figured out on your own.)
