“Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air; explode softly and send thousands, millions of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth, boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn’t go cheap either. Not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.”

(the silo is really painted as seen in this image and was not changed in Photoshop)
Very fun silo. Around here it is popular to paint huge Texas flags on silos or barns.
The Crayola bomb went off here with beautiful results.
I’m in Sweden at the moment, in Borås, where the accumulator tower of the waste treatment plant is illuminated at night with bands of lights around it, and a band of red lights on the top!
Sweet. I love it. Great textures in the sky.
An eye-catching silo that adds nice color to the landscape!
I definitely like that idea! I just find that art and color brings happiness to someone’s day. Someone here must have had a similar idea. A wonderful image!
I’m glad you didn’t photoshop those stripes, as they are pretty dull colors. But it is a nice scene to see and record.
I love that!
I have several of Robert Fulghum’s books. I just love his outlook on life!
A wonderful colorful silo and a great quote. Great early morning fare.
Superbe. J’aime les couleurs dans la nature. )
Colour certainly makes you feel happyy – I had a smile on my face as soon as I saw the silo, and it widened as I read your quote
This is a very funny silo, very “sympa”. I like a lot.
I like Fulghum’s words too.
Have a nice Tuesday.
J’aime beaucoup le traitement de ta photo !!!
an excellent sentiment
Beautiful composition with this happy silo !
Wow, c’est original et tout beau, superbe! Bise, bonne journée dans la joie!
What a jolly silo it is
What a fun idea that brings colour into our daily lives, even in a place where we wouldn’t expect it.
Here in Vienna, Austria, there is a garbage incineration plant that was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an artist of the ‘fantastic realistic’ school of painting and design. It, too, is very colourful and has tiles and graffiti on the walls and chimney.
Thanks for visiting my Aminus3 site and leaving your encouraging comments, Sherri!
I agree with the idea of color bombs! This is a whimsical and happy looking silo. I like the textures.
This nice really painted silo is beautifully captured this way and great words of Robert Fulghum.

You’re good! This couldn’t be a more perfect quote to go along with your image. I love that you’ve used the sky so well too.
I like the way it’s composed, and the idea of a crayon bomb
