Old School In the Rough

This old school house still stands, but it is hidden from the main roadway by the overgrowth as seen here. The windows are boarded, and when you see just the school on the other side, it doesn't look like much at all. Looking at it through the trees and other shrubs gives it a more appealing look.

Great capture

Wow- a little one-room school house! You don't see many of them anymore. Nice capture.

[Pam Womack]

great shot...it is a story just waiting to be told!

[Debbie Orlando]

I can't help but imagine the life that was once around it on school days.

[Brian Baptie]

Tucked away nicely!!

[Carolyn White]

I would love to see the inside!

[Ulpi]

Great shot Rick!

[Shanne]

interesting pov, the colours are great - sad to see things like this

[alia_801]

Great shot through the trees - gives it an air of mystery :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot and perspective, Rick.

[Margaret Tryon]

I love it Rick. We have a few old schools in my area also.

[Pam Hawkes]

Like many others I would also like to see the inside. I like the play of the sunshine on the brickwork and front door.

[Mike Llewellyn]

Love the little red schoolhouse. Hate to see such historic buildings abandoned.

[BeckyS]

Well hidden. Nice light.

[Howard Steele]

nice shot

[Pat Knowles]

What a shame but a sign of the times I suppose "!!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I have a penchant for old schools and would love to tour the country and world wandering around them and in them...with my camera. So tiny! I guess my school of at times, 1400 kids, would freak out the people who went here.

[Jane Hyde]

love the building peeping through the trees

[karenann]

It looks very appealing from this POV, Rick! Beautiful lighting and love the reds popping through the branches!

[Kathy Burzynski]

love those old school houses, great find

[Shirley Banford]

Great catch. Lovely POV.

[Mrs. Smith]

Great capture of this old school!

[Laurie Higgins]

Very cool hidden building, Rick. I know you used to use Picnik, so I wanted to pass on a tip that PicMonkey is just as good and just as easy to use. It was started by two of the creators of Picnik and it was a very easy transition for me. You might have already found some other editing program you love, but I just wanted to share my delight at finding a replacement for a program I was truly going to miss. Hope you are feeling better now and having a wonderful weekend.

[Arnold Garza]

Awesome POV!!!

[bruni]

Almost hidden by all the trees and shrubs but the sun on the the front still gives it away. a really lovely shot.

[Ade Akinyede]

Cool take. Love the sense of mystery in this shot

[Constance Brinkley]

Like the POV you have shot this building. I agree that it does have a sense of mystery when you look at this photo.

[hellcat]

It feels a little eerie to me-- that said, I'd probably explore it. Great shot. :)

[Lois P]

Good one.
