We use an occasional image of the Soldier water tower here on the Hometown News.
While browsing thru the "Iowa" group pictures on Flickr, I found a couple images of Soldier's water tower - one that appears as if it were taken on a bright and sunny day, and another that looks, well, different.
Turns out, the photographer (his name is Daniel Dunlap) was hunting for photo ops when he stopped in Soldier to get gas. On leaving the gas station, he noticed the water tower and decided that it would make a nice shot.
What really is neat, to me, though is what he did with the photo when he got it home - the modified shot (you did click thru on the link above didn't you?) is something spectacular. This image is the type of thing you see in advertising, in book illustrations, and just is spectacular.
A piece of art. And it was found right here in Soldier!
