Grain Elevator, Agate — wk 21, continued

Continuing from the abandoned farmhouse, I headed farther east until I reached the town of Agate. Outside the town is an abandoned grain elevator that I previously visited, but later in the summer months.

There are several steel grain silos at this site. One can create interesting images with overlapping layers, as in this composition.

There is also a green tank close by. Don’t know what it use it served. However, the rust and that red valve creates a great color contrast.

Finally, I made the following image of the older concrete grain silos. While making images at this location, several pigeons flew out of these buildings; they had made the buildings their home.

Leaving Agate, I headed back west towards home, along several dirt roads that crisscross the eastern plains. Along one of these roads I stopped to make some images at this pond at the roadside.

The grasses floating on the surface of the pond complement the reflections of the trees in the water.
