The Calaveras Cement plant was closed in 1983, after producing cement since 1925. Since closing it has sat empty, and untill recently, untouched. A yeay or two ago they demolished some of the remaining buildings. (OK they blew them up.) It looks like they begam tearing these silos down but stopped. I have no idea why, But these silos are still standing along the side of the road. Fenced off, but huge holes in the walls.
As I was processing this photo I noticied two things, on one of the rails at the top of the silo sit a couple of birds. I cant tell what kind, but they are there, clear a day. And on the bottom, right at the edge of the pavement and grass, sits a Canadian Goose. Clear as day. Can you see it?
Each day I am going to attempt to upload a photo to this space, and write about it. My purpose is twofold; to improve my photography skills and to improve my writing. As an educator I believe that I should practice what I preach. I ask my students to constantly improve their work and to reflect on it regularly, so why shouldn't I. Doing so in a public place holds me a little more accountable for doing it.
