Description
"School's Out Forever"
Shortly before I shot the Tunbridge Scandinavian Lutheran church (Image posted yesterday), I stopped at the long-abandoned Meyer Township Schoolhouse, right along Highway 2 east of Rugby a couple miles, and did some shooting. The school was founded two years in 1897 (two years before ND statehood) but has been closed since 1959! This school is a familiar landmark for any North Dakotan who has traversed the state on Highway 2 more than a few times. I've been intending to shoot this in winter (something about cold/snow/abandoned buildings that I like), but this morning with the fog really gave a different "feel" to the scene, with the sun rising in the background, beaming through and adding some warmth to the wetness.
An additional shot, taken further away (full view of school) and more from the left is also available for your consideration.
Image captured 8/5/19 with Pentax K-1 and DFA28-105 lens.
