The Elevators in Lepine




The abandoned grain elevators in Lepine (which is just a hop, skip and a jump from Wakaw, Saskatchewan).

When I left Wakaw in the morning it was snowing and blowing.  I stopped to take some photos of a few cemeteries that were covered in fresh snow and then it was off to Lepine.  Pretty well all that's left of the town are a ramshackle house and these two elevators.  But attractive elevators they are.


The northwest corners were plastered with snow.




A little bit of blue sky was showing to the south.




A large pit has been dug out between the two elevators.  This photo shows the pile of soil from digging.  I'm not sure what's up with the pit but I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with preserving these old beauties.




See them while they're still upright!
