Bonito atardecer en Elvas, ciudad portuguesa fortificada, con la muralla completa y donde se come muy bien.
It is worth paying a visit to Elvás, a few kilometers from Spain. Arab city, border city, fortified and with history. Getting lost in its streets, the castle, the fortifications and the Seo is well worth a stop. Its restaurants and towel shops are another excellent attraction.
Elva was a sports and racing car manufacturing company based in Bexhill, then Hastings and Rye, East Sussex. The company was founded in 1955 by Frank G. Nichols. The name comes from the French phrase elle va ("she goes"). Frank's intention was to build a low-cost sports/racing car, and a series of models were produced between 1954 and 1959.
This 1959 Elva Courier 27ALO is on display at the Haynes Motor Museum.
When I saw the old Lake of the Woods elevator in Elva in late February this year, they had already started to strip it. A company had bought it and was going to strip it for its beautiful old tin cladding and worn wood. Given that the Lake of the Woods elevator at Elva was the oldest elevator still standing in Canada (it was built in 1897), I have mixed feeling about this. Many old elevators are simply demolished, so it was a better fate than that, but it was such a beautiful old elevator that I wished it could be saved and preserved. The thing is, though, that the elevators present a hazard to the towns they are in - they can catch fire when struck by lightning, and then have the potential collapse onto nearby electrical lines. When they are so far decayed as this one was, there is really nothing that can be done with them. Farmers who buy relatively intact elevators can keep them working for grain cleaning and storage, but there's a lot of effort involved and entropy works hard against them. Even though I once read about a student's graduate school project based on how to repurpose old elevators for housing, that takes a lot of work (they are full of old grain dust, mouse and pigeon droppings, shaped in a way that makes them hard to repurpose for living space and they tend to be located in places where there isn't a lot of need for new housing). Anyway, long story short - as I walked around on a silent and frigid day photographing this beauty and the United Grain Growers elevator right next to her - I felt a real poignancy and sadness. I photographed her back in 2017 and I knew this would be the last time I'd see her and I wanted to capture her, despite her half-stripped state, as the proud beauty that she was.
And then, less than 6 weeks later, something even worse happened - she burned to the ground. A stray spark was all it took.
So many of my favourite elevators (lightning, demolition, storm damage) are gone now but I am so grateful that I got to see them, when they still stood proudly against the Prairie sky, and photographed them on one of their last days.
Elva, Manitoba, Canada.
I wrote a blog post about this trip in February/March 2022. If you'd like to see some behinds the scene shots, video and read some stories about how I shot these images, take a look.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
Der Name Elva kommt aus dem französischen „elle va“, was übersetzt „sie geht“ bedeutet. Er soll an die von 1964 bis 1967 gebauten McLaren Elva erinnern.

Elva si trova in una posizione molto isolata, lontana dalle principali vie di comunicazione della valle Maira. Le prime testimonianze dell'esistenza di un nucleo abitativo in zona si fanno risalire ai tempi dei romani: è stata ritrovata in zona una lapide romana, attualmente murata e inglobata nella facciata della chiesa parrocchiale.
Il termine Elva si riferisce forse alla "Gens Helva"; un'altra ipotesi si rifà al nome delle tribù dei "Galli Helvi" stanziati sulle prealpi della Provenza.
L'attività che ha caratterizzato nel tempo Elva è stata quella dei "Caviè", ovvero delle persone che raccoglievano e facevano commercio dei capelli.
I capelli delle donne di campagna venivano comprati e trasformati in richiestissime parrucche alla corte francese o inglese.
Elva is placed far from the principal communication ways of Maira valley, in a very lonely place. The first traces of its existence are of Roman memory: it was found in Elva a Roman stone, now a part of the parish church facade.
The word "Elva" is perhaps referred to the "Gens Helva" (Helva people); another possible origin is from "Galli Helvi", a tribe of Gauls who dwelled in the pre-Alps of Provence.
The activity that caracterised Elva was the one of "Caviè", people who collected and sell hair.
Country women's hair was bought and turned into expensive wigs for the French or English Court.
As the sun sets on 10-13-16, the UP Troy Grove branch line train comes past the old elevator at Elva, IL.
Chiesa parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta - Elva - Cuneo
La data della costruzione è quanto mai incerta, comunque le prime notizie si hanno a partire dal 1355; il portale della chiesa è dotato di decorazioni scultoree sormontate da un affresco quattrocentesco. Molto interessante è l'interno della chiesa in particolar modo il presbiterio, con le pareti e il soffitto completamente affrescate. Tra questi affreschi spicca quello sulla parete di fondo dedicato alla crocefissione datato 1493. Questo capolavoro pittorico è stato realizzato da Hans Clemer, un artista di origine fiamminga detto il "Maestro di Elva" che prestò la sua opera nel marchesato di Saluzzo.
Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta - Elva - Cuneo
The date of construction is quite uncertain, however the first news comes from 1355; The church's portal features sculptural decorations topped with a 15th-century fresco. Very interesting is the interior of the church, in particular the presbytery, with walls and ceiling completely frescoed. Among these frescoes stands the one on the bottom wall dedicated to the crucifixion dating from 1493. This pictorial masterpiece was made by Hans Clemer, a Flemish artist named the "Master of Elva" who lent his work in the marquis of Saluzzo.
