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.

That’s a great find Ken. I would have had a good time shooting there!
Thanks, Denise.
That old, abandoned school is intriguing. It would be good to see your photographic interpretation of this old structure. You might have noted that the sky was completely clear and featureless in my photos. I stopped by again in March, when there were clouds in the sky and made a few more photos of the old school and a few other abandoned homes nearby. I will publish those as soon as I fit those into my schedule.
Happy Shooting,
Ken
