Last United Grain Growers, Elva - a photo on Flickriver

Last United Grain Growers, Elva

I photographed the lovely United Grain Growers elevator on my first trip to Elva in 2017, but when I shot it on my trip in winter 2022 it had deteriorated a lot. Along with its companion, the Lake of the Woods elevator you can see in the background, it was was slated to be salvaged in 2022, so I knew that this would be the last time I saw it. I spent a wonderful, peaceful, frigid time photographing them both, savouring that last visit.

This is the last image I'll post from the series of images from my trip to Manitoba and Saskatchewan in February of this year. Despite bitter cold, dodgy and icy roads, it was a fantastically productive trip and I can't wait to get back to the Prairies again this winter.

Elva, Manitoba.

I wrote a blog post about this trip in February/March 2022. If you'd like to see some behinds the scene shots, video and read some stories about how I shot these images, take a look.

I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
