“Anywhere can be home”
My wife first spotted this in 2013. We were under mandatory evacuation, due to spring flooding. She was stressed about (possibly) losing the house, and starting to ‘spiralout’.
This appeared to her at the right moment.
I had gone for a swim, when I returned , she was calm as a Hindu cow.
I checked it on our ‘border crawl‘ this summer , it is still there.

They were still sorting the steel from the wood, when we arrived in town. Missed the topple by a couple days, I would say.

A loaded truck drives into bay door. It is always inclined, and a really intense sensation, being eaten by a black hole.
So much so, that someone would usually hop on to the step of the truck to act as eyes, and help ‘pilot’, until the driver regained vision. The grain was emptied by hand , until hydraulic lifts came around.
The building is called an ‘Elevator. The operator would grab a random sample, and all the old boys would get red in the face ‘grading’ the load ( to determine value and bin destination). It had to be settled before the lower hopper was full. That got hot sometimes.
From there, a conveyer of ‘shovels’ would elevate the grain to the top of the structure.
They have augers now , across the top distribute it horizontally . They must have relied on swing booms and gravity back in the day ? Shittywork. Before ‘the electricthose were flame lit.
Flame + grain dust = carbourated explosion
Ah well, the constant micro-dosing of Ergot must have helped pass the time.
