The sun was just peaking over the horizon to my left. Put on my circular polarizer for this one and let the light do the rest. Another great morning.

I waited for the sun to slowly creep over the hill to my right so that I could get first light. A truly magical time of the day.

What first attracted me to take this photo was the amazing symmetry between these grain bins. The two tall bins are very alike. The medium size are incredibly similar. The outer ones not so much except for size. I originally wanted to shoot this with the setting sun behind the grain bins. But when I saw the sun poking through I shot it as you see. Sadly a few weeks after I shot this photo we had a big wind storm come through that destroyed the grain bin on the right.

The General Mills Elevator was built in 1929. It has a capacity of 2 million bushels, or 70 million liters of grain. It stands just south of Union Equity Elevators A and B, which is seen far left in this picture. This elevator is 575 ft. long and 72 ft. wide. It has round bins west of the headhouse. There is a fading sign at the top of the headhouse which says "General Mills." The elevator appears to be vacant and not in use. It is one of the eight grain elevators in Enid, Oklahoma that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District.
The Southwest Terminal Elevator was built in 1926-1927. It is located just southwest of Union Equity Elevators A and B. This concrete elevator has a capacity of one million bushels, or 35 million liters of grain. It is 394 ft. long and 65 ft. wide. It is also known as Feuquay and Salina Terminal Elevator. It is one of the eight grain elevators in Enid, Oklahoma that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District. The elevator appears to be abandoned.
Artistic painted silo.
I am guessing this may be an older silo refurbished and painted.
To me, the silo resembles, a lighthouse, a windmill or even a small castle.....it most definitely has a European flair.
It's absolutely wonderful to view.

A silo (from the Greek σιρός – siros, "pit for holding grain") is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain (see grain elevators) or fermented feed known as silage. Silos are commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Wikipedia
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.

ENG: From the Baltic Sea back on the - not direct - way to Berlin. Not a motorway, but the country road L35 was our way. Why? Because you can always discover something new. Be it beautiful churches, old towns or these grain storages at the Peenebridge in Jarmen.
GER: Von der Ostsee zurück auf dem - nicht direkten - Weg nach Berlin. Keine Autobahn, sondern die Landstraße L35 war unser Weg. Warum? Weil man so immer wieder etwas neues entdecken kann. Ob schöne Kirchen, Altstädte oder diese Getreidespeicher an der Peenebrücke in Jarmen.
Each of the four grain elevators you see in this picture has different designs from the other three.

I'm still into the recent archives, looking for images that convey the look and feel of a northern prairie winter.
These old sheds sit on the valley rim, overlooking my little community. The two wooden buildings may have held grain at one time; more recently they've been a home to Great Horned Owls. The metal structure is a grain bin.
I remember this day well. It was bitterly cold. I didn't stray far from my car, and didn't stay out more than a few minutes each time. the late afternoon sun had turned the snow highlights magenta, while the shadows remained blue. A wind was blowing from the northwest, and you can see that the clumped grasses are not only leaning but also growing away from it, bowed and half-buried. I could barely function, and came home thinking I'd gotten nothing very interesting. Sometimes I like an image better after it has percolated for a while.

(Left) Union Equity Co-Operative Elevator Z, built 1949-1951, 1,000 feet long x 145 feet wide, 15.3 million bushels, or 539 million litres of capacity.
(Right) Union Equity Co-Operative Elevator Y, built 1953-54, 1,000 feet long x 145 feet wide. 16.3 million bushels, or 574 million litres of capacity. It was the then-world's biggest grain elevator when completed.
These are two of the eight grain elevators in Enid, Oklahoma that consist of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District. The elevators are in operation.

Wassaic, NY
The Wassaic Project, a rare survivor among the stately wood-crib elevators that once towered over rural America, this 105-foot-tall structure has been reincarnated as one of the strangest new homes for contemporary art in the Northeast, a place that feels like a Lower East Side gallery transplanted into a treehouse, redolent of damp pine and the animal feed that once filled the spaces.

Union Equity Co-Operative Exchange Elevator B was built between 1946 to 1949. It has a capacity of 11 million bushels, or 387 million liters of grain. It stands right east of Union Equity Elevator A, which was built in 1931. This elevator is 1,400 ft. long, 90 ft. wide and 240 ft. tall to the roof. It is one of the eight grain elevators in Enid, Oklahoma that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District along with the other two grain elevators seen in this image.

A row of grain silos with a partly cloudy sky in South Dakota, featuring 'BROCK' branding on each silo.
Purely by accident,while attempting to catch some winter weather pics(a rare thing during this very unusual midwest winter),the 3:30 UP train came through.I wasn't expecting it,was not prepared for it,and wasn't in a great place to capture it,but I tried my best. The UP mainline runs right through Sterling on its way east toward the UP Global 3 switching yard in Rochelle,IL.
The intimidating grain silos of tiny Elva,IL. Elva was never much more than a rail stop,this grain facility was pretty much the only game in town.
Happy "tower" Tuesday all!
I believe this could be the cutest silo ever painted.
This is located on an actual working farm.
In agriculture, a silo is a structure, typically a tall cylinder, used for storing bulk materials, most commonly for storing fermented feed called silage. Silage is made from chopped, fermented plant material, often grass or corn, and provides a nutritious feed for livestock, particularly during seasons when fresh feed is scarce.
Thank-you for so very much for your overwhelming support. I truly appreciate your visits.
Happy Clicks,
