The Silo Sampler

In honor of my book's first birthday,

I'm sharing some recently constructed silos.

If you still need to get a copy of the book,

this link will help --

This sturdy stone silo has a multi-angle top.

This concrete version is typical of so many silos here

with its flat, contrast-banded top.

And this pair features that same flat-top look

but with a tree growing out the top.

I've seen ONE tree silo so far.

(near Franklin, Tennessee)

There's a Flickr album HERE

that shows lots and lots of other tree silos.

There's also a very interesting article

about tree silos HERE.

Because this photo is so wide

you'll need to double-click to enlarge it.

I'll quilt it one of these days,

but for now the silo sampler 

makes me happy just the way it is.
