Montana Grain Elevator

[Chris Bennett]

I haven't put a photo up here before, but I like this one of an old derelict grain elevator in Montana. (Some of the hi-fi folks here may have seen it before!)

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thats brilliant ... Really painterly ... Reminds me of an American artist I can't think the name of

 

[Mark Grant]

Excellent, I like it.

 

[Barry Keavney]

Thats IS amazing.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Blimey guys!
Thanks for the compliments. I don't take too much credit for the photo because the subject was incredible. I have some more of other elevators taken on the same trip but this is the best one.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Here are just two more.
This one was just a few miles away from the first photo.

And this next one was a day's drive away in another country. Climax, Saskatchewan in Canada. Right on the border between the US & Canada.
The sign that said 'Welcome To Climax' had another (graffiti) sign on the back of it that said 'Thanks For Coming' - I kid you not!!

 

[Pete Askew]

I hadn't seen these before. What a great set. Love the second.

 

[Tom Dunne]

They make fantastic subjects and I love each of these images and they come with a nice mood.

 

[Brian Moore]

Agree completely with Tom. These are great photo subjects.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Agreed with the above. Wonderfully done.

 

[Chris Bennett]

I saw that my images had disappeared over the last while, so I've just restored them.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Here's one more for good measure. Also in Saskatchewan, close to the border with Montana and along the road a bit from Climax.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's been seven years since our last grain reportage, Chris. Don't overdo it Nice composition with this one.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Not seen these before. Great subject and well captured.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Thank you Rob and Milan.
Rob, I think I could manage one more - perhaps two in one day might just be too much though.
This one was not really taken for anything other than a record of it's existence, so no great shakes in the artistic department but it was in a town that shares my name!

They make such great images. Have you considered allowing more space around them to show them in the landscape more?

 

[Dave Farnes]

Must have missed these when you first posted them. Great set of pictures! Particularly like the first two, looks like one day nature will reclaim the decaying buildings.
