Once there were railroad tracks there...

... and a water-driven grist mill on the other side.  A huge wooden grain elevator from more than 100 years ago.

These ancient grain elevators are quickly disappearing from the midwest as railroad track disappear. Use to be almost every small town had one, but they are mostly gone now..

How amazing! Beautiful photo, and I think I would be coming back to photograph this location frequently. I'm curious to know if this is abandoned and you can explore at will?

Estupendo ese tono amarillento de la imagen que refuerza la sensación de antigüedad

I wonder how long it has stood there...and also wonder when it's last day of operation was.

Una fotografía que, al artístico, une un gran interés etnográfico.
