Last fall my wife and I did a two week camping trip through the plains states and parts of Canada. We used our tent and left our camper at home. We find accessing camping locations much easier in remote areas that are near where I want to photograph using our small tent. On this trip my interest was in finding old granaries that once were operational and vital on the Plains. Most of these old granaries are abandon and many are being torn down. They mostly are located along R.R. tracks,many that are no longer being used. This image was in the state on Montana near the Canadian border. The R.R. track is still active and is called the high line by locals in the area. We both have a love for seeking out quiet places that reflect on past life in America. The Plains states once had vibrant communities of farmers and the R.R. tracks was the connection and life blood to this vast area. Traveling around through several of Plains states we stopped in many abandon towns that were once were a hub of activity for people that lived there. There is always a sense of sadness to witness a generation of hard work that has vanished from the landscape.
