top) ethanol plant, weyburn, sk. this place smells.

second from top) mural art, duck lake, sk. this town was actually really cool. there was more murals than there was people, and was deeply influenced with metis and first nations culture. there was a bunch of references to louis riel and buffalo.

second from bottom) my favorite abandoned building in duck lake sk.. the empty/vacant buildings in rural saskatchewan are subtle reminders that the urban centers are expanding at rapid rates. with a huge wave of young people leaving their country homes and traditional ways of living behind, the future of saskatchewan will drastically shift. with this migration from small towns to cities modernization and loss of culture will continue. the timelessness of the empty prairies is speeding up. regina is the herpes captial of canada.

"u mad bro?" is spraypainted on the side of the building. awesome.

bottom) grain elevator, milestone, sk.. an aesthetic that i love out in the prairies is the 360 sunsets. with the flat horizon completely surrounding you the sun seems to set in every direction, north, south, east, and west. this photo was taken just before sunset and facing directly east. i also love the silver grain elevators.
