Downtown Grain Silos 3

In a downtown area of Abilene, along the railroad tracks there are several different grain silos.  I honestly don't know why I love to photograph them as much as I do, but here ya go.

Oil Silos

Driving north in Texas we came upon these oil silos next to an oil drilling field.  There were no

"No Trespassing" signs so we were able to get close for pictures.

Downtown Silos

On the edge of downtown Abilene there are several silos along the railroad tracks.  I'm not sure what they're for, but they're huge and they're active.

Downtown Silos 2

The same silos as the previous post, but a different angle.  The image was made on a Sunday afternoon, so there's no activity happening.  The structure is located in downtown Abilene, Texas.

I pass this location often and finally decided to stop and get some images.  The weather was beautiful, I needed to be outside for a while so I was happy to find this location.

My heart is happy:

for the beautiful weather and the spare time to be outside with no deadline to be elsewhere

Downtown Silos

Except for the cloudy sky today, the weather was beautiful and I had to get out of the house for a while, so I drove around downtown.  I love this silo structure and as I was going past it I decided to stop and grab some more photos of it.  

It looks really good against a blue, blue sky, but I really like the gray steely look of the silos against the cloudy grey sky too.

My heart is grateful:

 that I'll be seeing my grandson in a few days.

Farmer's Co Op

A number of silos clustered around at a farmer's co op

Vacant hotel and silos

These structures are located in downtown Colorado City, Texas.  The hotel, as well as many other spaces in downtown Colorado City, has been vacant for as long as I've lived in Texas, and in spite of that the structure is very well taken care of.  I can't quite figure that out.  

The silos are located along the edge of the railroad tracks and they look as though they're used regularly.

According to the data from 2021, the population of Colorado City was 4,391.

It is the city seat of Mitchell County.  It is approximately 1 hr 10 minutes north of San Angelo.

My heart is grateful that:

I forced myself out of the house today to take a photo roadtrip

Town Silo

Seen on the way to Santa Fe, NM.  Not sure exactly where, I lost track of where we were.  This is basically just a grab shot because it was a long drive and I needed a daily photo.  

I love the silos and the blue, blue sky.

Today's grateful heart is grateful for:

A road trip in good weather with good friends
