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.)

Contrast

Another view of the aftermath of the explosion, contrasting with the shiny new silos across the street.

Far Flung

The force of the silo explosion hurled silo pieces clear of the building, which would have been something I wish I’d seen* as it happened.
