An old schoolhouse a few miles from my home. There are many of these in the small towns around me. Most of the time, someone owns the old building and lives in it, after some renovations of course, but the exterior is usually just cleaned up so you can always tell what they used to be. They will also have a little wooden sign near the road that states what school it was and the years in which it operated. This one doesn't appear to be lived in, but might have been at one time, considering the TV antenna and the plastic owl mounted on the roof.***Thanks for any views or comments.

The plasric owl is there to keep the ghosts away. The old headmistress comes visiting sometimes in the night. :) Nice capture of this old school building Tina.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Nice capture. I think it'd be great to spruce up an old place like this. It'd make for an interesting home. =)

I'm in a story both funny and cruel. But am I the hero or am I the fool?
