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.
Prague Old Town Hall elevator shaft to the viewpoint at the top of the tower.
You can take that or walk the winding walkway to the top where there's a traffic light system for the final spiral staircase onto the viewpoint.
Published after a re-visit and taking a bit of inspiration from another shot of the same thing.
In my opinion, one of the more picturesque old grain elevator still standing on the prairies.

These elevators lead from the underground parking lot into the Longo's store 1 floor up in Maple Leaf Square beside the Air Canada Centre. They replicate the doors of their first store on Yonge Street in 1956. This is good marketing! I think the storekeeper in the door on the right is the late Tommy Longo who passed away January 30, 2011.
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.
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.
One of two former grain elevators at Barnsley, Manitoba. I posted a pic of the other one on February 12.
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.

This is one of the largest grain elevators in the world. It holds 17 million bushels and is half a mile long.
Another town elsewhere in Manitoba will soon lose its elevator. They have been falling at a rapid rate in the last few years.
I posted another shot late last year of this elevator with a truck passing it...here is a version without any traffic in the foreground. Stopped here for a few shots after some aurora hunting...seen in Auroraville, WI on November 10, 2016.

My hangar needs other accessories and actuating means, an elevator to reach the parts to fix it is essential.
Cooking right along on their way back home, GLC train OSTN passes the Lott Elevator in Cohoctah. At one time this elevator and the one just north of here were Ann Arbor and TSBY customers but neither have seen a car spotted at them in years and I believe both are long out of business and up for sale.
I found several American Oystercatchers working the beach at Stone Harbor. When they'd find a small bivalve (clam), like this one has at the tip of its bill, the clam would start near the end of the bill and just like a little elevator, the tongue would guide the clam right up to the mouth, and then a bit of a gulp and the clam is no more. I'm not claiming that the clam benefits from the "elevator to heaven," but the Oystercatcher sure does when it gulps down a clam.

i used to work in a photo agency on the corner of 57th and madison, before everyone got too embarrassed to be uptown. i rode the elevator every morning with the editor of mad magazine, who wore a rope for a belt (brancusi already knows this). sometimes i really miss the rituals of 9 to 5. especially the coffee wagon; there's nothing like a danish in cellophane.
