A set of three progressively taller concrete silos rise against a pale morning sky, their forms standing in quiet contrast to a small flock of birds fluttering around the silos. This image emphasizes shape, scale, and negative space, reducing the rural landscape to its most essential elements. The silos act as sentinels of agricultural labor and permanence, while the birds introduce a fleeting, organic counterpoint; motion against mass, freedom against function. Together, they create a quiet meditation on endurance and transience within the rural Midwest.

Taken in Sparta, Michigan with my Canon 5D Mk IV and the 70-200 2.8L IS USM II, along with the Canon EF 2x III extender. 1/250th sec, f/9, ISO 250.
