Silo complex.800-1693, with story

Someone has built up a small industrial empire.

I discovered these silos on my way back home, from yet another trip full of detours, in central Indiana.  To get an impression of their size, there is a full size truck trailer off to the right, the tires are visible.  Those small dots on the support line, at the top right, are birds resting.

Taken in color, converted to black and white, then I added a light blue wash for the industrial effect.  Shooting through a polarizing filter, to even out the colors and tones, also added a vignette to the sky's corners.  I had to back up quite far so I could shoot the camera level, in my widest mode, trying to keep the verticals straight. Closer in the lines tilted considerably as I filled the frame with the columns.
