My latest contribution to Monochromia. I found this scene on a stretch of Hwy 70W traveling from Muleshoe, TX to Clovis, NM after a heavy rainstorm.

I haven’t done industrial shooting in a very long time, and I miss it.
Hi Allan, I love to find these industrial spots, too. Guess it’s time to get back out there. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Wonderful composition, and such beautiful tones in this one, Jane.
Thank you, Lisa. Pleased you like this image. 🙂
Beautifully composed and so full of rich tones. Of course, the puddle adds an extra dimension to the abandoned cityscape. And those clouds!
Hi Otto, The agricultural buildings along here were incredible and as you can imagine, I was thrilled with the intense rainstorm adding to the drama. I’m pleased you enjoyed this one– thank you so much.
I love reflections and this is fabulous captured,Jane. All the details, the light, the cloud scapes and the amazing water reflection makes it perfect. A real eye catcher!

that Silo and it’s reflection, the story the photo tells, couldn’t be ignored! love it.
Thanks for your kind comments, Paula. I agree, the history these places emanate is moving.
That reflection and the clouds are really striking!

Thank you, April. I thought this scene was perfect for a monochrome conversion. Glad you like it!
Let’s go to nowhere.
Hi Leegschrift, Good caption. Thank you.
As someone who grew up as a Minnesota farm boy, I’ve always been fascinated by the geometry of agricultural structures. This picture captures so many. As others have said the “composition” is so fantastic – the angular structures themselves, the more abstract reflection of those structures, and the amorphous clouds brooding in the background all combine into something quite magnificent.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, Cnawan. I’m glad this brought back nice memories of your childhood. I am fascinated by these buildings.
The reflections in the puddle add so much to the composition. Beautifully rendered, Jane.
