Our third stop was Castor Alberta. I was hoping to stop for breakfast here, but it looked like we were too early. I think most of rural Alberta businesses operates at 10AM-5PM. This grain elevator looks freshly painted and in great shape. There were a few other farming relics in the nearby vicinity. This was processed with a blue filter to turn the sky mostly white to contrast with the dark elevator and train cars. I found out after I got back that Castor is home to a large beaver that I had failed to notice. I’ll be sure to look for it next time I’m through.
Scenic photos of various historic wooden grain elevators found in Alberta that were a part of daily life in early Western Canada. I had travelled to these locations taking photos and experiencing the small towns that they were a part of. Wooden grain elevators were once common across the prairie provinces, but are now rather scarce as they have largely been replaced by large concrete grain terminals. Grain elevators were the heart of their communities and are slowly disappearing due to age, fire and neglect. Some of the grain elevators shown have already burnt down or were demolished.
