Schoolroom, Bannack, Montana, 2010

Rather than show the old desks that are still in place in this room, I concentrate on the glowing window shade with its carefully tied drawstring. The drawn shade symbolizes closure – the school is no more, but the light of the knowledge once gained within that room still lingers.

Thanks, Tim, for nothing the role of the caption when it comes to expression. It works very closely with this image, and underscores the role of symbolism here.

I like the image and, as is the case in most of your captions, the caption adds a layer of meaning.
