Land of Plenty
In this striking black and white photograph by Duncan Rawlinson, a solitary man stands atop a train, dwarfed by the colossal presence of a massive grain silo. The image captures a moment of timelessness in the world of farming and food, with the imposing structure serving as a testament to the grand scale of the agricultural industry. The stark contrast between the man’s small stature and the monumental silo highlights the insignificance of an individual within the vast systems of nature and food production. Set against the backdrop of the rural American heartland, this photograph evokes a sense of awe and pays homage to the heritage of farming that has shaped the countryside for generations. The image speaks to the enduring human spirit and perseverance in the face of the seemingly insurmountable challenges presented by the immense forces of nature and industry. https://Duncan.co/land-of-plenty 111 2nd Ave, 5DSR, agriculture, agriculture history, agriculture industry, American heartland, Awe-inspiring, B6EtQpwhLDxRDqM2UuZ5aCtAdVDrhSwBN4cSFGQH5MZV, bc1qrhychen7kkejgprx42jawd8pjvsuw5ud7rwe50, black and white, Black and white photography, Canon, Canon EOS 5DSR, colossal, contrast, countryside, Dakota Mill & Grain, Drive Across USA Summer 2017, Drive-Across-USA-Summer-2017, Duncan Rawlinson, Duncan Rawlinson Photo, Duncan Rawlinson Photography, Duncan.co, enormity, farmer, farming, farming heritage, food production, food system, grain industry, grain silo, grain storage, https://Duncan.co, https://photo.duncan.co/gallery-image/Rural-South-Dakota/G0000fV2glsDneUk/I00007P7YTVw8L0Y/C0000t5EHJyPqSu8, human scale, industrial, infrastructure, juxtaposition, Land of Plenty, load, man, man versus nature, midwest, monochrome, monument, perseverance, Photo by Duncan Rawlinson, railcar, remote, rural, rural landscape, scale, SD 57790, Shot With Canon EOS 5DSR, silo, standing, timelessness, towering, train, train tracks, U.S., united states, United States of America, US, USA, vastness, wall, wall drug

Concrete Tipi
This unique piece of art at the Valley Springs Welcome Center & Rest Area in South Dakota captivates visitors and passersby alike with its fusion of traditional and modern elements. At first glance, the sculpture appears to be a tipi skeleton, a nod to the indigenous history of the region. However, upon closer inspection, one realizes it is crafted from an unexpected material—concrete. The innovative use of this sturdy, modern material serves as a bridge between the past and the present, providing a thought-provoking juxtaposition that sparks the imagination. As travelers pause at this rest area along their journey, they are invited to reflect on the rich cultural heritage of the area and the resilience of the human spirit. https://Duncan.co/concrete-tipi 5DSR, abstract, American culture, architectural design, art, artistic expression, artistic vision, bc1qqkg8zt50mndnhex8j2yk6qycpe0qss8egg2ct2, Canon, Canon EOS 5DSR, contemporary, contemporary sculpture, creative, cultural heritage, Drive Across USA Summer 2017, Drive-Across-USA-Summer-2017, Duncan Rawlinson, Duncan Rawlinson Photo, Duncan Rawlinson Photography, Duncan.co, G6ApSDP29rfLeM6Gz3hDa2gJ3c1u6pyej4NYAP9yzoo6, highway, historical tribute, history, homage, https://Duncan.co, https://duncan.co/concrete-tipi, https://photo.duncan.co/gallery-image/Rural-South-Dakota/G0000fV2glsDneUk/I0000kJqAysZ5uyY/C0000t5EHJyPqSu8, I-90 West, indigenous, innovative, installation, juxtaposition, modern interpretation, monument, MRM 412.1, native american, outdoor, Photo by Duncan Rawlinson, prairie, public art, Resilient, rest stop, Road Trip 2017, roadside art, roadside attraction, sculpture, SD 57068, Shot With Canon EOS 5DSR, South Dakota, South Dakota landscape, striking, symbolic, Thought-Provoking, tipi skeleton, tourism, traveler, U.S., unconventional materials, unique, united states, United States of America, unusual, US, USA, Valley Springs, Valley Springs Information Center, Valley Springs Welcome Center & Rest Area, visual interest
