This is the last of the photos from Kansas shot last weekend. This is the grain elevator in Hanover, the town where my mother-in-law lives. It's like the gold depository for the local farmers.
A NOTE ABOUT YESTERDAY'S POST: there is something in the top picture I didn't notice. I mentioned in Monday's post that my wife is the great granddaughter of Juergen Kruse, who emigrated from Germany to the US in 1858. She noticed that Juergen's tomb is in that photo. It's one of the tall ones, just right of center. If you look carefully you can see the name Kruse near the base.

belle photo b&w, on dirait qu'elle a ete prise au flash ?
ReplyDeleteYes, Kruse allright.
ReplyDeleteI've just remembered that it's also the name of Käthe Kruse, a dollmaker.
Gorgeous photo, I love these American elevators.
When do you think they dropped the second 'n' in Hannover? When an Englishman founded Dorchester? But that's in Nebraska, right?
Lots of those grain elevators spread across Kansas as I remember. Looks distinctive in b/w.
