“Farming is a profession of hope”

This grain elevator probably goes back to the late 1930's or early 1940's.
When I became old enough to haul the grain into town to the elevator I was thrilled. It got me out of the fields but for some reason the elevators fascinated me.
Sometimes on the summit of a mountain I wish there was an elevator down. Unfortunately, in spite of my wishful thinking, this is just a door left over from when a radio tower was mounted on Mount Catherine.

Jason asked me to go downtown with him after work to take some photos in a bar for his project at work. I took the camera to work with me and turned the outing into an all day photowalk.

I had left my laptop case in Jason's office while we went walking and need to go back to get it. I rather liked the weird faded fluorescent lights in the elevator as well as the reflections off the back/side walls.
Built in 1916, here's another abandoned grain elevator in Rice, Oregon. Rice was not a post office nor did it ever have a store located there. It does boast of a school in it's history and a pioneer cemetery.
Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone! =)
Contrary to popular belief, old grain elevators are not good places to hang out at. This is the elevator I see from my house (2 blocks away), and just recently a girl fell 100ft to her death early one Sunday morning. So, 'no trespassing' signs are something that are there for a reason, and probably should be obeyed.
This neat elevator stands just off "downtown" Washburn. The low train speed makes it possible to get this shot after the bridge shot without any undue drama.
One of two former grain elevators at Barnsley, Manitoba. I posted a pic of the other one on February 12.
Seen by thousands of motorists on a yearly basis, this "Prairie Sentinel" stands where railroad tracks used to run, in a small village along the busy Highway 2. This was, although being a wood-cribbed elevator and looking older and of the original wood build, was actually built in the 80's. The rails that ran just to the left of the elevator, were torn up in Southern AB around 2000. This even included around Drumheller area and many other places in the province. The line that ran here was the former MacLeod Branch of track.
The citys famous public elevator, and a symbol of Izmir. This elevator links Mithatpasa street below with Halil Rifat Pasa street at the summit of the precipitous hill. It was built in 1907 and restored by the municipality in 1993. The upper terrace has a breathtaking view over the city and the bay.
My wife and I went out to see the flooding after the extremely heavy rains that fell on Thursday night. This is the Piscasaw River in Chemung. This is looking to the West and back to the grain elevator.
In my opinion, one of the more picturesque old grain elevator still standing on the prairies.

Another town elsewhere in Manitoba will soon lose its elevator. They have been falling at a rapid rate in the last few years.
My hangar needs other accessories and actuating means, an elevator to reach the parts to fix it is essential.
