Prairie Moon

Whether you live or have travelled through the prairies, you have undoubtedly seen many relics of past generations. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a way of life different from current times.

These abandoned farm buildings that I regularly drive by are looking very weathered. They will not last forever…except in photos. I have had the opportunity to photograph them several times in different seasons and hope to continue to do so while they are still all standing.

As I stood in the ditch, waiting for the full moon to rise, I started wondering: Who took the time and care to build these granaries on an angle so that they could be easily viewed by passers-by on both crossroads? Did they know that people would talk about them for decades to come?

And then I try to imagine what future generations will think of our current way of life, and what relics we will leave behind for them to ponder and talk about.
