We were entertained by trumpeter swans most of the afternoon! #henry’sfork #orcuttphotography #islandparkidaho #harrimanstatepark #bestofthegemstate January 26, 2021 Historic Pillsbury Grain Elevator, between Felt and Ashton, Idaho. Like distant ships on the horizon, grain elevators in the American West appear in the wide-open landscape long before reaching them. Happening upon these magnificent structures, one thinks about the engineering, the transport of materials, the labor and perseverance that it must have taken to construct them.Frank Gohlke, master of the Texas landscape, expressed his feelings about these extraordinary buildings with these few sentences: “I was frustrated by the discrepancy between the ordinariness of the facts surrounding the grain elevators and the intensity of my emotional responses to the objects themselves. …. The dignity of grain elevators, the precision, intelligence and grace of their formal language, their majestic presence within the landscape all seem to confirm the faith that, given the right circumstances, we will make visible the best that is within us”. #orcuttphotography #bestofthegemstate #historicidahograinelevators February 16, 2022
