bah, this image makes me jealous of where you live. I love the midwest endlessness that you portray in your shots, the area I live in is too densely packed with trees to get this type of experience. awesome photo, favorites.

I love this. Simple as that. The landscape is amazing. Great shot!

Great photo. I'd love to explore that area for more photo ops.

I just have the impression to go back in the past when I look at this. time has no grasp in this. A fantastic lighting, love the shadows it gives. wonderful depht as well. A beautiful scenery yet again.^^

I like it. The colors and the scene itself is awesome. Good work!

It seems the sun was very low, this explain these amazing colors. Great shot!!

Fantastic shot yet again, Michael. I wish school was just out and not starting!

I love how the road disappears into the hills.....I also like the grasses on the roadeide, the contrast of brown,green, brown is great. The school building adds dimension to this for me. Also think the lighting is just perfect for this shot! Another into my fav's Michael & thank you :)

Great shot and great colors! Into my favorites!

this is sooo beautiful!!! you've captured that countryside so well, makes me want to go live there, it looks so peaceful and innocent. where is this anyhow??

i agree with noobguy. the midwest is great. i live in iowa and the scenery here can be unbelieveable at times. this shot that you have here has a great combination of roaming hills and plains. very nice shadowing as well.

Awesome pic.
Everything is here.

Beautiful shot! I love the antique look to it, and the hills in the background are awesome

oh how peaceful. absolutely beautiful. the light reminds me of evenings in utah.

absolutly wonderful i cant stop looking at it! i wanna go there so bad i mean the mountains are actually...well dull-- not "dull" as in bad i mean as not like "peaky" ones here in alaska are all pointy ..never seen such wonderful mountains, and the school, abandoned or not, its perfect in that spot! where did you take that? i wanna go there and check it out some time soon!! thanks for the pic...its in my favs and a def 10!

I would just love to live in a place like this. Looks like something out of the film "True Grit" (John Wayne). Had no idea places like this still existed in todays society.

Yeah I know most of the people said it above, but man those hills are...spectacular. I had no idea there were places like this in the US.

This is just now the first time Ive seen this amazing photo! and it is March 2005!! Thef colours are just breathtaking, is that sky really that blue? This to me is one of the TOP photos I've seen on caedes! The perspective is perfect...the scene is serene and one I wish I were at. Did you take this in Wa.??sooooooooo awesome!!

It is such a peaceful place,the green mountains makes it so special !
with the name "school's out" make me going back to my young days
walking to the school in such a beautiful place.
Thank you for everything !!

A truly great shot. The colors, shadows, and the road tapering off in the distance really make it great!

This is beautiful. I love the glowing golds contrasted against that beautiful blue sky.

I love the soft looking hills in the distance and the road to nowhere really makes this shot work for me! Very striking shot, well done on this one!!
