Here is another re-scan and image while trying to stay away from other 
people.  This is part of a large grain silo complex in Kingfisher, 
Oklahoma, or more accurately was a grain silo complex.  The story as 
told to me was that the owner had moved all the machinery to Cuba in the 
late 1940's and early 1950's, thinking there was a better future grain 
market there than in Oklahoma.  I imagine we've all done something like 
that at one time or another though maybe not on the same scale.  This 
was Kodak 8x10  TMax 100 developed in PMK Pyro, and a Kodak MasterView 
field camera with a 305mm Wollensak lens.  I finally sold all of my film 
gear last year, and the MasterView outfit brought 3X more than I paid 
for it.  It was just sitting on a shelf but I still hated to let it go.
