Rural Alberta

So this week is extremely busy at work as we are printing and then getting almost 3 million flyers ready to be mailed out for two different companies. Having said that I am using a filler tonight. This was a shot that Melody took when we went to visit her aunt and uncle in Tofield.
This is an old grain elevator in between Tofield and Riley. Although this one is no longer in use you do still see these scattered across the prairies and I thought some of you would enjoy seeing this. I am a couple of days behind in responding to all of your comments. I do appreciate them and hopefully things will soon settle down and I will get myself caught up

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Tony]

Nice capture of a passing era. Modern transport has reduce the need for many of these older structures that soak up $$$s in maintenance. Sad to see them go.

[Darlene]

It is a wonderful photo and sad that they are becoming extinct.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Great shot, love those clouds too.

[Graham Thresher]

A great capture, sad to think that they are in decline.

[Anita Campbell]

Nice one!! Glad to know there are still the old grain elevators in some of Alberta. They have done away with theold iconic ones we have always been so familiar with in Three Hills, at least. We miss them.

[Paula W]

Definitely interesting I'm not sure if we have equivalent buildings here in the UK. Hope you meet your work deadlines without too much stress.

[Tineke]

That is a very interesting looking grain elevator. I have been wanting to take some shots of some in this area. You have inspired me to do that.

[Kim]

Wow 3 million flyers! I love to see the landscape in other places so I do enjoy seeing this.

[jerry plume]

What a great structure! I love the grainy effect! Sounds like you have your hands full! Hope you get caught up soon!

Nice, we have a building similar to that one close to our home.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I wonder if you could make a dwelling out of it? How big are these buildings? xx

Interesting structure! I'd love to see rural Alberta one day.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot- it has a very nostalgic feel to it. Hope things slow down at work soon so you don't feel so pressured.

[bkb in the city]

@congaree Hopefully you will get that chance one day

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. Things are going to stay busy for awhile but I really do not mind that except it leaves me a little on the tired side which means I do not feel like getting out and taking to many pictures

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bkbinthecity Hang in there and shoot when you can- the "your project; your rules" motto comes in handy at these times.

[❀ Lynn]

Lovely share Brian. I love seeing these old elevators...they're getting to be fewer all the time.

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thank you :)

[bkb in the city]

@lynnb They are certainly harder to find

[Diane]

These old grain elevators fascinate me. We saw some in Oklahoma.

@eudora Glad I could share this one with you
