Happy accident, while at a friend's wedding. I never thought it would remain one of my favourites to this day.
Two long-abandoned elevators moldering away just outside the ghost town of Merricourt. The tall one is an early concrete elevator, and the other one is made of brick.
While brick was theoretically better than the tin and wood construction of many other elevators built at the same time, it seems that it was not as strong in practice.
As the sun sets on the Maumee River an old Geep now serving as an elevator switcher has some cars pulled out along the river. Toledo, OH 1/4/18
Grain elevators are a rapidly disppearing sight on the Canadian Prairies. Since 1963 the total number has dwindled from over 5000 to about 400.

Today, i finally got to take pictures of John and Juanita. Juanita and I have been shooting together for almost a year, i love her to death! Ah they are so cute! :)
I have this new obsession with shooting through glass, and when i saw this glass elevator i couldn't help but fire away!
Detail of sculpture representing the auspicious symbol Ru-yi
made from recycled elevator cable by Kang Muxian from Taiwan. Interesting website where you can see what it looks like whole; there's a photo of the artist where he looks like a model for one of the terracotta army in Xian.

When I posted this, I thought it was a black and white photo, then I looked at it on my phone and saw a lot of red tints - now on flickr I see a lot more colour too, strange. It is just steel. The more I look, the more colourful it is. A trick of the eye?
A sight I never thought I'd see - an ex-SP Tunnel Motor as a grain elevator switcher! I stumbled into this guy switching cars at Jasper, Minn., along BNSF's Marshall Sub. However, it appears they need the horsepower - he was moving long strings of hoppers out to the siding and gradually assembling an outbound train for BNSF, which had power tied down ready to take the train after it was made up.
The Farmers Elevator in Froid, Montana, a small town of just under 200 people established in 1910 not far north of Culbertson. Located along a railroad branch line to such places as Plentywood, the town's name comes from the French word for "cold". After experiencing many winters in this region, I had to chuckle, for that was truly an understatement! (7-4-2023)
Happy 4th of July to those here in the US. I worked this morning, then attempted to find some subjects to shoot in the strong winds that brought mostly cloudy skies by afternoon.

Another find of my urban exploration. Back in its prime this piece could lift 12,000 pounds. It was installed in the early 1900's. Back in my prime I could life 120 pounds. I was installed in 1991.
Station Luik-Guillemins
Station Luik-Guillemins (Frans: Liège-Guillemins) is het belangrijkste spoorwegstation van de stad Luik. Het station ligt op het einde van verschillende spoorlijnen. In reizigersaantallen is dit het op tien na drukste station in België en het op twee na drukste station van Wallonië, na Ottignies en Namen
Het station is genoemd naar de wijk Guillemins, waarin het ligt. Deze wijk is op zijn beurt weer genoemd naar de kloosterorde van de Wilhelmieten, die daar in 1287 een klooster stichtte.

"We movin on up in da world like elevators." ― Outkast
Musical Inspiration:
We stepped in the elevator to go up one floor ... and there they were! Too good to be true. My heart leaped, my mind jumped ahead: how long would we be together in this confined space? One minute? No, thirty seconds?
"You look remarkable," I said, "can I take your picture?"
"Sure," she said. He hesitated. "I don't have to be included?"
"Oh yes! You look marvelous together!
Their pose was rather stiff but sympathetic. He withstood the attention of a camera. She enjoyed the unexpected elevator moment. I marveled at her T-shirt, just long enough to serve as a dress. Had she just bought it the museum shop? And immediately changed clothes? I was going to ask, but the lift stopped, the door opened. We had to get out. "Thank you, guys!" was all I could say, still not completely landed in my own head.
Sometimes a meeting with a stranger is just like that. Short as lightning.

The grain elevators in Rugby, North Dakota. That's a lot of wheat!
Amtrak stops in Rugby. The station was behind me when I took this photo.
I have to correct the record. Last week I posted this photo and said it was the northernmost photo I took on the trip. That was incorrect. The photo above was taken about a hundred feet further north.
