Philip Nealey Omaha Photographer -unsharpmasked » Abandoned grain elevator in corn field, Iowa, USA

This is an abandoned grain elevator in a cornfield in Iowa that I ran across one morning on a photo-shoot. I really liked the symmetry, so I chose to place the building in the middle. The road I was on was an access road created for constructing the wind turbines. I saw the same image photographed by a different Omaha photographer, but now this scene is totally changed with the finished wind turbines in the background. Progress on one hand, but I’m not so sure they do anything to beautify the Iowa countryside. I guess the only way to recreate this image would be to use photoshop to remove the turbines, but that just doesn’t seem right somehow.

Facts: Grain elevators are buildings or complexes of buildings for storage and shipment of grain. Older grain elevators and bins often were constructed of framed or cribbed wood and were prone to fire. This one sits abandoned.
