Galvanized

I’m not sure what happens inside this galvanized metal building in Hale, Texas, but it attracts attention from the highway as the sunrise scrapes across the farmland of the panhandle and bounces off the building’s east facing side.

All over the cotton growing parts of the state the ground is covered with cotton balls as if there’s been a recent light snowfall. Agricultural buildings like this one dot the countryside and usually sit just a few feet away from a rail line for easy loading.

This one looks pretty new. Many others I saw were older, rusting, and being pulled slowly to the ground by weather and gravity.
