Skyscrapers in the Boonies
September 26, 2013
Just before I found the tree whose photo I posted last week, I spent a good hour, maybe more, photographing another surprise on the same road. From a mile away I could see something large in the distance. My first thought was: skyscrapers! But how could such large buildings be there, where I knew there was no large city? The mystery resolved itself as I approached the structures, but my sense of something like skyscrapers never left. These silos are enormous, and they made me realize how important farming is to this part of the state. About the sign I saw on my way out of the Sunrise Cooperative Clarksfield Terminal? I love the precision of a computerized scale paired with an old-fashioned way of reckoning time: harvest, indeed.
