Schoolhouse Window

I am working through my photos of Ireland and I want to backtrack on the journey, so to include this shot (which I was drawn to).

We are at Bunratty Castle, Limerick. In addition to the main castle, they have a number of buildings on grounds, representative of various parts and times in Irish life.

This is a schoolhouse, with a window lighting the student desks. I believe it dates from around 1800-1850. All grades in the classroom (maybe 10 kids?). For some reason, I just loved the entire scene.

Thanks for taking time to view.

Super composition. So evocative of a schoolroom, the light and fun outside the window, the proper wooden desks inside......not that dissimilar to the classrooms of my infant years! Love the symmetry.

Love the framing of this shot, not to mention the contrasting coulors on the wall being lifted by the light from the window.
