Don't panic!
This is not an out of control fire but a controlled burn of the old grain elevator in Harrisburg a couple summers ago. It was one of the biggest deals to hit the Garden Spot of Lincoln County in many years. It turned into a major fire fighting exercise for the region's fire fighters. Plus, it was really cool to watch. I kept yelling "fire, fire, huh, huh, fire" like Beavis and Butthead.

This photo is more of a photo of an oddity than a great photo. It is a photo I took of a gate into Damascus, Syria in November 2003. The cameo is of Syria's late President Hafez al-Assad. I thought the gate bore a striking resemblance to the Mayor Dave Munson gate in Sioux Falls at the entrance to Phillips-to-the-Falls.

This is one of my favorite photos. This is a shot of a ladder and the "protective" cage that goes around it on the grain elevator in Harrisburg. I like the concentric circles leading to the round opening at the top and the wonderfully blue South Dakota sky, all contrasting with the corrugated steel on the elevator.

The composition of this photo could obviously be better, with an ugly pole in the shot. But this is a great turret on a old building on US 75 in Auburn, Nebraska. It is literally a grab shot with a cheap digital camera I carry in my car. I was stopped at the light heading north from a trip to Topeka, Kansas. I've seen this design on some other buildings in southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas.
