I think somebody HAS been trespassing--for the lumber. This old, two-room, elementary township school is representative of too many structures in west-central Illinois, as is the town where I found it, Elmira, which has also been mostly abandoned. As a teacher this shot represents something I hate to see go in education: personal contact between student and teacher.

I can understand your sadness, but I have a love of neglected buildings and ruins, and this shot moves me. Well done.

Where we have come from has absolutely no bearing upon where we are capable of going.

I also like this type of photography. It brings up so many thoughts and feelings. I believe it's thoughs thoughts and feelings that keeps the concepts you are talking about alive. It is also nicely framed with great clarity. Thank you.
