I figured I'd start with one of the first building my camera laid its digital sensors on. Built and then never actually used for the purpose it was intended, this Prairie skyscraper has seen many phases in it's brief lifespan. Originally laden to the top of it's 200ft height with bins and conveyor belt for the processing of Mafnesium ore, over time, it has been mercilessly disembowled, leaving yawning gaps leading to a quick and bone shattering descent. After all the valuables had been clawed out and auctioned off, the building has served as a location for a tire shredding company, and finally a superabsorbent polymer manafacturing facility, before finally being left alone, the constant prairie windcrying through the louvred walls that make up most of its external shell.
