The Templeton feed and grain store in Templeton, California is the most prominent building on Main Street. Templeton is an agricultural small town. This building dominates it. Normally I photograph this building from Main Street in the business area. I usually take the photos in the daylight. But on this day, I crossed the river and took a back road that paralleled Main Street so that I could look across the river. After taking several other photos, I started back to the road with the bridge and the sun was almost down. I had to stop and take the photo when I saw the silhouette in the sunset. If you like this photo, it’s available as a canvas print on Zazzle. You can use the link at the bottom to find it, as well as products with the feed store in the daylight. One version of that is below.
This is what Templeton Feed and Grain looks like in the daytime on Templeton’s Main Street. You can see what a small town this is, for this is the center of town, Main Street. The business area is only a few blocks and one can easily walk it in about ten minutes one way.
Is there a building or other structure that dominates your town or city?

What a nice silhouette. I love this building.
Most photos of the building are taken from the other side, so I couldn’t resist when I saw it from this side of the river.
Lovely photos and interesting architecture!
It’s a feed and grain store, so it’s like a big warehouse.
Nice building. Good capture. Might be helpful as a back-drop, some day.
A backdrop for what? Do you have an idea?
Great photos, very nice for the challenge!
Thank you! I’m really enjoying this challenge!
Awe, Barbara, this is an awesome silhouette! Thanks a bunch for entering it. : )
I’m hoping to get one more posted before the end of the month if I can get time in while I’m trying to get privacy policies updates on my blogs.
That would be great, and thank you again.
