~ UPON THE KANSAS PLAINS ~

|
 ~ UPON THE KANSAS PLAINS ~
There are many of these old grain elevators upon the Kansas plains... Many have been replaced by the common cement type that most people are more familiar with as alot of the older ones have been demolished. This particular elevator was made of stone or large bricks, I'm not sure which. This elevator stands alone in the southwest part of the state, not even sure of the town that might have once surrounded this Kansas icon. Railroad tracks run along side, I'm not even sure the train route goes by this desolate looking, unpopulated area anymore. It's still a handsome piece of Kansas history, that still stands proudly and alone where at one time, years ago, while harvest was in full swing, it was the center of attention.... HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY!!! 19mm ~ F/8 ~ 1/640sec. ~ ISO-160

A well compsed B&W presentation Jeana! Not a lot unlike our silo's on our western planes, and the trains still run there! These places attract a lot of native birds with the spilled grain, it is a definate driving hazzard!!
