Abandoned Home or School House, New Mexico, September 27, 2020

Driving between destinations, trying to maintain a travel schedule, I often see things that I neglect to take time to photograph.  I have driven by the same places numerous times, thinking I should someday stop to get a photograph, even if it is midday with the harsh light of the midday sun directly overhead and minimum or no shadows.

If I stopped at each of these numerous places, I would obviously fall far behind in my travel schedule.  Today I decided to take time at one such place that was some distance off of the highway, but clearly stood out in the wide open space in this part of New Mexico.

The architectural design of this structure suggest that it might have been a school house in this tiny community in the wide open plains of New Mexico.  I probably should have stopped somewhere to inquire about this old place, but I did not take the time.

Perhaps someday, when I have more time, I will stop to learn more about this place.
