Post a CommentGreat looking pictures of an interesting subject.
Mike you have brought back some fond memories when I went there years ago. Enjoyed the pictures.
Great photos and a fascinating place!
Roy this is my first time to view your work, love this pic.
I was there about 11 years ago. Looks the same!
I seen this building on the travel channel. I also seen it on a video that I watched when I was gathering information about my unusual places I was writing about a few months ago.
I remember this place!
With all the heat we've experienced this year, I'm surprised it hasn't popped;)
A corn palace! LOL God bless.
As one who has grown up around corn, I never would have thought anyone would have built a palace of the stuff. Interesting and creative use of corn.
