One grain elevator can hold millions of dollars worth of wheat but the real value of this particular kind of "gold" is it's use for food. A half mile long grain elevator in Hutchinson, Kansas is seen, here, reflected in a lake formed by an old sand pit. Birds nest in the branches of dead trees in a small island in the middle of the lake.

Location: East 11th street, on the outskirts of Hutchinson, KS, USA
