wonderful shot...there is an oppressiveness about grain silos - they are usually so contrasted with their surrounding landscapes, I like that feeling here!

this observation has a lot of truth !

I love silos. They remind me my hometown. Very good B&W.

They can be interesting subjects in terms of photography - not easy to catch, though ...
But what is it about silos and your hometown ?

My hometown, Konya is called Wheat Silo of Turkey. During June, all around the city looked like a wheat sea when I was a kid. Now it has over 2 million population and not different than the ordinary cities.
Just a little out of the city, there was a very old hotel (14th Century) and next to it, there was a wheat silo. When I saw them together, they used to enchant me.

I took a look. BIG city, indeed - ad a little nostalgic story probably many of us can tell with slight modifications ...

On the second look it IS a bit scary, indeed !

For some reason this makes me think of giant robot fingers pointing up from the ground.

But, isn't it one of five? ....But anyway, I love it, one more time I recognized you!
π: 0 β©: 1
One of five, yes. I was thinking more of one against four, without making it sound too aggressive ....

Right, "that one" is surely a good guy!

It could be, but a GOOD one!!

Just a random question because I'm curious- does your camera let you shoot in square format or do you just shoot at the normal ratio and think in terms of square composition?
I realise the latter is far more likely but I dunno, the idea of a high-end camera that can shoot it 1:1 amuses me

Interesting question. As - indeed - ever so often I already think in terms of squares. You can see from the EXIF data that it is a Canon 50D - medium end SLR with normal ratio that I use.
They have digital Hasselblads now - starting around 10,000 Euro - and even more to carry as I have to with my equipment

for sure

Yes. Square does not always work, though, imho.
π: 0 β©: 1
certainly not, no. You can only get so epic with the square format before things need to get wider!

Thank you, Anna, but why sad?
π: 0 β©: 1
That photo gives me a sense of "mute sadness"... ...Like many B&W "industrial photos"... ...But I like it very much!

You know, now that I think about it, what you say is very true, Anna...I had never retrieved that thought from my subconscious...although, I know now that it was there...there is a sadness about such photos...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, this is what I see.... ...Like the "prostrated" Berlin in Wim Wenders' "Der Himmel ΓΌber Berlin".....

I see. You certainly have a point here !
