This is a drawing of the old UFO-shaped water tower on the corner of 6th St & 14th Ave in Brookings, SD. Two blocks from the house I grew up in, it was by far the most massive structure around me when I was a kid, and I loved to gaze up at it while I walked my paper route. When I last visited Brookings, in summer 2019, the water tower had been taken over by these turkey vultures who swirl above it in the sky and rest on the cell phone towers, sunning their wings.
