What makes this Tower of interest is that it just so happens to be the tallest thing in the western hemisphere. Better yet, it’s also located in perhaps the flattest state in the US: North Dakota—second only to Florida. This place, where the tallest structure meets the flattest land, is where I want to go. North Dakota also happens to be the place where you can find the longest stretch of laser-straight road—192 kilometers running between the I-29 south of Fargo and Highway 30, into the city of Streeter, population 170, as of the 2010 census. I seem to be drawn to these extremes of mundanity­—maybe because nothing is ever really mundane if you capture it just right. And so I’m off on a boring trip to take plain photos of mundane objects in bland landscapes. One is a Tower. The other is a Road.enArchitectureLandscapeSublimeTowerRoadDrivingNorth DakotaFargoKVLY-TVNorth Dakota Highway 46Master Thesis
