Kansas, St. Louis & [More] Chicago Earth Art

Ashley posted some pictures of Chicago Earth Art. I was in Chicago a few summers ago heading back from a road trip to Kansas, and took some pictures of the same token sculptures:

Kansas still holds most of the national wheat reserves, the buildings the wheat is stored in are gigantic monoliths taking up the land:

And more decay as seen in St. Louis... however, although the buildings are decaying and the Earth is actively claiming them back, some parts are covered in graffiti (murals) which adds a nice touch to them. There is no reason why buildings themselves or the resources inside them cannot be re-used.
