Dankin A in Winter - a photo on Flickriver

Dankin A in Winter

This is the last image I will post from my winter trip to the Prairies. I hope you have enjoyed them and not found that I've posted too many (I can't help it; I get attached to them!). Thank you to everyone who commented or faved any of the images. It means a lot to me.

This beautiful old elevator at Dankin took a hit and lost some of its roof since I last saw it in 2016. In just the 4 1/2 years that I have been photographing elevators on the Prairies, many of my favourites have been lost to lightning strikes, demolition or simply to time. On the last full day of my December Prairies trip, I drove 4 hours just to see Dankin A and B (which is out of view to the right) and I'm glad I did because now that Dankin A is open to the elements, I don't think it will be around for long.

It's so odd, the feeling I've developed for these elevators. As I saw these two in the distance, I felt a joy as if I was seeing old friends, but it was bittersweet, too, because seeing them knocked around like that is heartbreaking. They are still standing but maybe not for as long as I hoped they would be.

I've written a short blog post about my trip, if you'd like to read it.

If you'd like, take a look at my other Prairies images, as well as my ongoing project to photograph old, abandoned grain elevators. As well, if you're feeling particularly interested, you can read an essay I wrote for Nathan Wirth's Slices of Silence blog on my feelings of connection to the places I shoot, especially the Prairies.
