The Old Schoolhouse

Found on one of the back concessions, I can just imagine the teacher ringing the hand held bell for the kids to come in.
Had some technical issues taking this shot. It was raining I wanted to stay low to the ground to get the fence post in which meant angling the camera upwards. As you can see rain drops formed on the lens, any helpful suggestions?

Thank you for stopping by, hope your enjoying your weekend.

[Poppo Livy]

Take it when it isn't raining. Duh!! :-) Lovely moody shot Kathy

[Kathie]

Neat find. Wonder how old this is. Looks like a one room schoolhouse.
Love the composition and POV. Fav. In addition to Poppo's suggestion :) @terryliv you might get a lense hood.

[Richard Sayer]

This is a really great find and I like this shot.

@terryliv thanks Terry thanks for the great advice waited all winter for shots like these..............remember these words of wisdom next week in Vancouver !! Ha ha

[Islandgirl]

@kathiecb yes Kathie this is a one room schoolhouse that probably closed in the 50's, as for a lens hood not sure if that would work as I was down low and pointing the camera up! Oh well a few raindrops never hurt anything!

[Poppo Livy]

@radiogirl Been following the weather forecast for Vancouver, Banff, Fairbanks. Vancouver looks shite!!!!

Love this shot. Old building has so much character and history. The gray clouds set the mood.

Old buildings like this just beg to be photographed, in my opinion. Bet there's some amazing shots to be taken on the inside as well. There's some sort of wildlife in the background, yes? Cows? Deer? Or maybe I'm just seeing things.

Great shot Kathy, love your pov, wonderful textures too. fav

[Milanie]

The pov was perfect for this shot - and as long as it didn't bother your camera, it sure didn't bother your shot. Really neat old building - says so much about our history - they really had so much character.

cool shot... great pov

[Yao RL]

Love your composition and point of view.

[Sandhu]

cool

[Emilie Cartoun]

So lovely, with a hint of sadness at times gone by.

[Margaret Obey]

Wonderful evocative shot Kathy. I bet it has some stories to tell. The raindrops add to the image and it's emotional impact.

[Debi 🐩]

Nice scene love the detail in the dried grasses

[KWind]

Nicely composed scene. Great pov too.

[Stephanie Swift]

LOve your pov and composition, fav for me. A lens hood can help with the rain, but if the lens in pointing up towards the sky, at the right angle, the rain can still get onto the lens.

[Sharleen]

Love those raindrops! Great colours - shows the long winter we've had and how stubborn spring is this year.

[Dawn Swingle]

Wonderful shot -- I love old buildings, they have so many stories to tell.

[Victoria Fox]

Great pov. Love the colour of the grasses with the grey sky....and I actually think the raindrops on the lens add to the scene...

[Gena Pegg]

Very awesome capture. Love you pov and so much wonderful textures and great comp! FAV

[chanimal]

There is something about old buildings. Great composition

[Linda]

Love this shot - fav. Really like the detail of the fence and the grasses too. I have taken an umbrella out to shoot on rainy days, even just holding a bag or something over top for a quick shot works too.

[Harbie]

I love old buildings! Great POV, texture, and colors! A fav for me!!

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Love it a definite FAV.
