In the grain-growing areas of the west and mid-west these historic grain elevators dominate the built environments of small rural towns, railroad crossings and farm collectives. Many of them are no longer active, having been replaced by pre-engineered metal buildings. Their long term fate is uncertain, but as cultural landmarks we would like to find a way for their preservation. #grainelevators #grainelevatorphotography #grainelevatorart #montanalandmarks #montanaphotography August 5, 2023 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 #orcuttphotography.com February 15, 2022 Poppies on State Line Road on the Wyoming-Idaho border, backlit in late afternoon bright sunlight. The light here at elevation about 6,000 feet is more intense at this time of the year than we anticipated. It creates great visual experiences, but requires adjustments from our normal photographic efforts. #driggsidaho #bestofthegemstate #orcuttphotography #tetonvalleyidaho #idahowildflowers July 14, 2022
