I took this picture about five years ago. The subject isn't anything spectacular but I thought it was interesting.

I thought it was an old grain elevator.

I liked your picture very much!
Well, I've lived in, and driven throughout, several mid-western states over the years. I've seen different versions of your picture fairly often. I believe the good people that did/do agriculture, and the variety of other industrial work throughout the U.S, are the "salt" of our country. We have a great abundance in America because of the work of their hands.
So thanks for posting this one, Sir Henry. I think it is
really something!!

I like to photograph ordinary things and just with lighting and composition make them interesting.

Beautiful old grainery, I really like the contrast.
I love the old signage on the walls.
I like to look for old buildings that were used as billboards. I also like to look for old dilapidated farmhouses and barns. One of these days I am going to load up my camera gear and just cruise the country roads and shoot some of my favorites.

I love driving the secondary roads cross-county. I've pulled my teardrop about 20,000 miles in the last seven years.

I find it difficult to get the correct lighting when taking a picture of nothing. This is the best picture of nothing I have ever taken. lol

Better picture than I would take, JWC.
If I submitted my picture of nothing, the top & bottom frame lines would be crooked!!
And Sir Henry, the school house is a neat photo.
