Grain Silo ~ Aqua Vita Park ~ Nacogdoches


This old brick grain silo adds a decorative touch to Aqua Vita Park near LaNana Creek in Nacogdoches.



Looking from the inside out, the vine snakes its way up the inside walls of the silo 
and finally finds its reward of sunlight at the top.

Wonderful photos, Kathy! At first, I thought this was a water tower. I've never seen a brick silo - must be pretty old. It seems they are mostly metal now. I wonder if someday this vine will cover the entire structure?

I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. It kind of makes me think of something in "Lord of the Rings".

Love the bricks on the outside of this silo and the vine growing up the inside of it.

Kathy! I love both of these, but especially the one taken looking from the inside out!!! You shouldn't have used that word "snake" to describe it. Tracy will be scared. :)

I love these pics. It's interesting to see a vine make it out of the dark and into the light. That's incredible stuff.
