The grain has always fascinated me, may be its history, so bound to the one of the human being, or may be its shape, so much symmetrical and regular. Everytime I pass close to a field of grain I surprise myself quite hypnotized; today was a day with heavy clouds close to my home, and when I noticed this field so green under a sky so leaden, with that strange path in the middle, I could not resist.

A new trend in the baling process is to use the pattern of the American Flag to wrap them. The bales you see in my other shots are often wrapped in a light green or yellow.

Aux échelles moyennes de l' observation et de la prévision , nombreux sont les cas d'évolution subite du temps au cours desquels le vitesse du vent s'accroît de façon brusque et marquée tandis que sa direction éprouve un net changement (jusqu'à 45 à 90°) : lorsqu'une telle évolution s'étale sur une durée de quelques minutes seulement avant de s'amortir assez rapidement, elle est qualifiée de grain ; ce phénomène, particulièrement redouté en mer, est fréquemment accompagné d' averses ou d' orages . On peut parler plus précisément de grain lorsque se manifestent de fortes rafales , excédant d'au moins 15 noeuds (soit 28 km/h ou 8 m.s ) la vitesse moyenne du vent pendant une période d'au moins 1 min.

Une ligne de grains ne s'accompagne pas obligatoirement de grains. De même, un grain orageux n'appartient pas forcément à une ligne de grains ; si tel est le cas, c'est un grain en ligne . Un grain noir est accompagné de nuages sombres et, souvent, de fortes pluies ; un grain blanc , au contraire, n'apporte pas de précipitations ni même parfois de nuages (sa dénomination vient de ce qu'il peut être signalé à l'horizon par un nuage blanc en ascension rapide).

On désigne quelquefois par ce terme de "grain" des phénomènes plus généraux, mais caractérisés également par leur soudaineté, leur intensité et leur brièveté : en mer, une tempête locale ; à terre, une averse venteuse.

This was a grain storage facility for Budweiser back in the day. I caught it just as a storm was moving in, and loved the silhouette. I also really liked the reflection of sunlight in the windows.

A trio of former Erie-Lackawanna C425s work on home rails, heading up an impressive quintet of ALCO/MLWs assigned to Delaware-Lackawanna freight PO-74. They're seen passing the reservoir in Elmhurst, Pennsylvania on the way to Mount Pocono and Cresco.

This small grain elevator once was the economic engine that powered little Dailey, Colorado. It closed in 1985. Shortly thereafter, so did everything else.

Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.”

I met a local photographer here at the grain elevators, who told me that there is a pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest and hang out at the top of this building. I did not see them on this very windy day, but I did see a Bald Eagle on the other side of this building.
