This photo won one of the three 1st prizes in the Citybration photo contest in June 2012 and is going to be on display the
Buffalo Waterfront Photo Exhibit in the Buffalo Niagara Gallery in the Market Arcade, 617 Main Street, Buffalo, NY, through July 21, 2012. The theme was Buffalo Waterfront.
In this photo, several elements came together. First, the sun managed to peek under the heavy layer of clouds and beautifully lit up the grain elevator with warm light while also lightening up the clouds a bit. And to add to the moment, an inbound airplane approaching Buffalo over the waterfront positioned itself perfectly for this extended exposure shot. What a great moment!
The South End Marina Cargill Pool Elevator / Saskatchewan Cooperative Elevator, built 1925, Buffalo, New York (NY). The only grain elevator on the lake itself, which allowed a service of deeper draft ships.
Have fun!
