Rural landscapes: the symbolic sunset
GRAIN ELEVATORS, NANTON, ALBERTA
Like so many landscape photographers, I gravitate to the colour and design of grain elevators whenever I find them. I came up with the title for this post because it really is sunset for these iconic symbols of the Canadian prairies. Hundreds have been torn down in the past three decades and replaced with towering metallic grain collection operations at strategic locales. They’re undoubtedly more economical, but not nearly as pleasing to the eye.
