Dawn in Alliance, Nebraska. The faded block letters read “O.M. Kellogg Grain,” which apparently was something called the O.M. Kellogg Grain Elevator Co.
At the right time of year, the rising sun probably throws all that sheet metal on the north wall into dramatic relief. Not in late October. A freight train blocked my access to the sunny side.

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.
First try of vertical panning
For all interested a panning howto again:
- aperture to f8 or f11 (works with any other, just tkae care that the focus is fine)
- shutter speed 1/30th (i calculate speed (kmh) x 1 -1.5) or even less if needed
- manual focus (zone focussing) set to ~ 3,5m. DoF should be ~ 2-10m (works of course with prefocusind and locking the focus)
- when the subject approaches, track it, realease the shutter and continue to pan
Thanks for your visit, comments, faves,....

These guys were changing gaskets on the hydraulic system in one of the City Hall elevators. Fortunately, they were happy to pose for a photo.

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.
Another view of the historic and resilient old elevator in this ghost town.

The early morning sun illuminates the jointed rail of the KYLE railroad as we look, approximately three and half miles away, at the old Clyde Moore Grain Company elevator in Edson, Kansas. March 3, 2020
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.
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.
