Goodnoe Hills One-Room Schoolhouse

One of the few buildings still standing in what's left of the ghost town of Goodnoe Hills in Washington state.

 

This was one of those times where I was torn between the color and B&W versions. This was taken during the "golden hour" so I liked the golden glow that infused everything, but I liked this version equally. Perhaps I'll upload the other version one day.

 

Happy to report that I am still alive, no thanks to my stupidity (which has nothing to do with this photo). Yesterday I rear-ended an innocent teenage girl who had had the temerity to come to a stop on the highway . . . owing to the fact that there were cars in front of her that had stopped. I was momentarily distracted at a very inopportune time and didn't see she had stopped until I was about 100 feet away. Going 50 MPH, my stomping on the brakes was, to put it mildly, ineffective. I totaled both cars, but fortunately, the young girl I plowed into did not seem to have suffered significant injury--thank heavens--but she was really shaken up and that was the worst part for me. After the insurance is all settled, I plan on sending her some money by way of further apology.

 

I'm going to miss my old car.
