Wow. Some great pictures here.
I really like the abandoned silo sites.
They kinda remind of old mythical castle remains. Where many a great siege had taken place, where soldiers fought and died defending or attacking their very gates. Yet for some reason over time the inhabitants seemly fled or just simply vanished leaving their stronghold abandoned a long time ago.
Or...At one time trains delivered strings of loaded grain hoppers to drop off their cargo for storage. However, either due to, or a combination of social, economic, government or industry changes the silos lost their practicality and out grew their usefulness. Now they sit silently awaiting demolition.
Personally...I like the first story better.
