skewed

Fugate Road, Palouse, Washington

a tad skewed by age, and the wind, the old Skeen school is another slice of local history still hanging on

upon meeting by chance, on the rural road, the farmer who owns this property told me that he has seen a document dating the building to the 1890s

he also remembers children arriving here, into the 1960s, on horseback

I do love these old barns. You have captured its spirit.

Excellent find. A gust of wind and this historical charm definitely becomes history.

Lovely!V

From learning to leaning. Great find and capture. The bikes add so much to an old school.

I saw the truck first, so same goes for this ~ also might make a great print. I think the colour works best due to time of day..... hey maybe a diptych V
Jeff Real21-Sep-2013 13:38

Hanging on in quiet desperation. A stoic school house.
Colin Storey20-Sep-2013 19:27
What a fantastic looking old building with these twisted shapes, stood the test of time well, all things considered. v
Johnny JAG20-Sep-2013 18:56
1890's is quite old for a shed!
Neil Marcus20-Sep-2013 18:55
The phrase, wrack and ruin comes to mind. I agree with Dan. Mono might be very dramatic.
Helen Betts20-Sep-2013 18:01
Fascinating capture and a great find. The bikes are an interesting addition, but then it's a schoolhouse, so maybe not so surprising. V.
Walter Otto Koenig20-Sep-2013 17:35
A great find for a photographer. Well photographed from this angle with this warm lighting. "V"
Sam Rua20-Sep-2013 17:20
Very nice find, David. The condition is a testament to its age and temporality.

Excellent find and capture. Love this place.V.

this old log cabin is all distorted, but nonetheless, it still stands! V

Talk about a crooked house, or in this case, school. Mellow light on this old building full of character. Imagine what it has seen in its 100+ years. V
Dan Greenberg20-Sep-2013 16:46
I absolutely love it too! So well done and evocative. I would love to see it in mono as well. ~BV~
Jim Coffman20-Sep-2013 16:44
