Description
This former Alberta Pacific Grain elevator at Dorothy, Alberta - Canada was built in the 1920s and closed in the 1950s. It had its roof torn off during a wind storm in the summer of 2015 so I'm glad I observed it before that happened.
Captured on a late summer afternoon as the sun was low over the Badlands, the structure punctuated the landscape. I saw many similar old timber silos scattered throughout Alberta, some still in use and others like this - past their use-by date and usually standing alone looking the worse for wear, no doubt contemplating older times when they were useful.
