Winston-Salem State University was founded as the Slater Industrial Academy by Simon Green Atkins on September 28, 1892. Atkins had an audacious vision to create an institution where every student would meet the challenges of the day equipped with an education designed to intellectually prepare the “head, hand, and heart.” Twenty-five students attended classes in a one-room frame structure and were taught by a single instructor.
In 1925, the General Assembly of North Carolina recognized the school’s curriculum above high school, changed its name to Winston-Salem Teachers College, and empowered it under authority of the State Board of Education to confer appropriate degrees. Winston-Salem Teachers College thus became the first black institution in the nation to grant degrees for teaching the elementary grades.
In response to a growing medical community emerging in the Winston-Salem area, the School of Nursing was established in 1953, awarding graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science. In recognition of the university’s growing curriculum and expanding role, the North Carolina General Assembly of 1963 authorized changing the name from Winston-Salem Teachers College to Winston-Salem State College.
A statute designating Winston-Salem State College as Winston-Salem State University received legislative approval in 1969, and in 1972, Winston-Salem State University became one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina, subject to the control of a Board of Governors.
Since its founding in 1892, Winston-Salem State University has grown from a one-room frame structure to more than 39 buildings located on a picturesque 117-acre campus overlooking the woodlands of Salem Lake in the heart of Winston-Salem.
The university is now number one in the UNC system for North Carolina job placement for graduates and number one in the UNC system for the average salary for triad-area graduates. It is home to an award-winning student activities center, top 25 division II football, basketball and baseball programs, and offers students 100-plus student organizations.
With a faculty-to-student ratio of 16:1, the university enrolls approximately 5,000 students and offers more than 40 bachelor’s programs, 9 master’s programs, two professional doctoral programs, and two certificate programs.
Through the Division of Lifelong Learning, opportunities abound for non-traditional students to pursue studies through evening-weekend, summer, distance learning, and continuing education classes.

Palo Verde National Park is an incredibly important park for the local wildlife. It is one of the only places in the world were Tropical dry forest and vast expanses of wetland coexist. This creates an interesting mix of community structure. In the last century much of the Tempique watershed was covered to rice patties and pastures. While a pristine environment would be ideal, rice patties serve as artificial wetlands. In the last decade, much of the patties have been converted to sugar cane, partially due to new bio-fuel initiatives. This has been devastating to the area.

The Tamano Bridge is an acient structure said to have been here since 711 when the shrine was rebuilt. Im not sure if this is the same structure or not, but it looks fairly new. In the foreground is the giboshi, which are the metal toppers you see on Japanese bridges.
Yahiko Shrine is an important Shinto shrine in a small village located in Niigata. Yahiko-mura only has a population of 8,800 people, but it receives a decent amount of tourism thanks to the shrine. The main edifice dates back to 1918 after it burned down in 1912, but the history of the shrine can be traced back prior to 759 AD as it is mentioned in Japan's oldest poem anthology, Manyoshu (万葉集). It also received attention in 1959 when there was a tragic stampede during new year's celebrations--124 people died and another 77 were injured. The shrine sits at the base of Mount Yahiko, and is situated amongst dense forest near the Mitarai-gawa. It can be reached on foot from Yahiko Station, a few stops along the Yahiko Line from Tsubame-Sanjo Station.

Watson & District Heritage Museum
The Watson and District Heritage Museum is housed in the former Canadian Bank of Commerce, a two storey structure erected in 1907. Dedicated as a National Historic Site in 1977, the Museum opened its doors in 1980. A large agricultural museum was built adjacent in 2002.

It’s clear that it’s been a while since this area last saw some maintenance go into it.
Not sure why someone would either put or leave material hanging over one of the girders.
It’s a scene of an old place full of memories.
I think the light is balanced well and I also think there’s a nice level of detail in this shot.
