One Room Robinson School _6270
There is a historical marker on the road describing this one room school. It reads in part "In 1937, Guy U. Robinson led is neighbors to petition the county for a new common school district, in part to protest high school taxes in Strawn (nearby town). Leo Ankenbauer sol two acres of land to school trustees ... and this schoolhouse was completed in time for classes to begin in September 1937. ... In use only until 1943 when the number of pupils declined to two, Robinson School is a unique reminder of the county's rural education."
I ran across this rural property on a county road out in the middle of nowhere, mixed in with ranch properties. I saw the historical marker and stopped to see what it was about. I might not have even noticed the school on the other side had it not been for the marker. That's what's fun about driving the country roads. You never know what's around the corner.
I actually worked this image 3 times. This is my Camera Raw image (equivalent to Lightroom). I created two other separate images in Topaz Impression, just experimenting and trying to be more creative, but in the end I liked this one best for the crisper colors and image.
