Traffic calming (with balloons)
There’s a flag pole right there in the intersection of Myoma and Douglas Streets, like some sort of skinny traffic calming measure. (I didn’t see any other cars when I was there, but I did feel pretty calm, so maybe it works on people if there’s not un-calm traffic in the vicinity. Who knows. Traffic engineering is a complicated proposition.)
There were also two balloons, sagging with age, tied to the pole.

It was reasonably awesome
For various reasons, I’ve not been out shooting too much recently, which has forced me back to the archives to see if I missed anything interesting the first time through.
Maybe you saw my earlier photos from St. Paul, Nebraska, here or here or here.
But did you know that Nebraska itself is, in fact, AHSOME. Neither did I, until very recently. But license plates do not lie, or exaggerate.

The loudest silence
This place left me feeling unsettled.
Maybe it was the way the trees were closing in on that old church. Or maybe it was the way I felt them closing in on me.
It might have been the plywood where the stained glass had been, like a blind eye somehow watching me.
Or it might have been truly a sinister place.

A sort of trinity
I don’t go many days without a cemetery photo, do I?
I like the way the two crucifix-adorned crosses frame up the little statue of a saint.

Elevator
In case you’re not from an agriculture region, a grain elevator is where grain’s stored – this article explains it better than I can.
I haven’t photographed a lot of grain elevators, although they are lovely in their industrial-architecture way. This one is especially nice with the vertical lines in the rough concrete and the banks of windows climbing up the side.
