b1 Obsolete elevator #889.

Abandoned railway stations, metal milk jugs on railway baggage carts.

Obsolete grain elevators. As we watch more and more things around us

slowly becoming obsolete, it is worth noting that other generations

have watched as technology changed as well. Change is rapid,

relentless, and inevitable. There isn't much point debating whether

it's good or bad; it will happen anyway.

Ahhh... the forward march of technology! In 1967 I learned to program computers by plugging and cross-connecting wires into boards that were over one foot square in area. Look where we are today.

Thank you for providing some description with your photo. To me that is the meaning of a documentary. Nice photo, nothing modern in it and gray is best for this. Thanks.

You're right George, it doesn't matter what our opinions are we'll have change whether we like it or not.

 

This photo is just great in my opinion. I've seen pictures of some of these old elevators in your part of the country &I hope some day to get up that way. Nice job on the toning too.

Very good composition and lovely colors.

Well observed, both the photo and the commentary. Old things hold within themselves a wealth of experiences and when they're gone, they're gone forever - except in your photos.
