Federal Grain Elevator, Horizon
In the foreground is the Federal grain elevator in Horizon, Saskatchewan. It was built in 1922 and closed in 1999. Interestingly, it was designated as a Municipal Heritage Property in 2004, which makes it eligible for government funding for preservation, though the town around it has been abandoned.
If you'd like, take a look at my other Prairies images, as well as my ongoing project to photograph old, abandoned grain elevators. As well, if you're feeling particularly interested, you can read an essay I wrote for Nathan Wirth's Slices of Silence blog on my feelings of connection to the places I shoot, especially the Prairies.
