Old School Near German Valley, Illinois

"I think I'm going back

to the thing I learned so well in my youth.

I think I'm returning to

all those days when I was young enough to know the truth.

Now there are no games to only pass the time.

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb.

Thinking young and growing older is no sin

and I can play the game of life to win.

I can recall the time when

I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend.

And now I think I've got a lot more than

just my toys to lend.

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

and everyday can be my magic paradise.

I can play hide and seek with my fears

and live my days instead of counting my years.

Let everyone debate the true reality

I'd rather see my world the way it used to be.

A little bit of courage is all we lack,

so catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back.

I'm going back,

not just sitting, walking away.

Yes, I'm going back.

Going back to my youth.

Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back,

I'm going back..."

🎧Going Back

... macro mondays ... school supplies ...

hmm !

I shot this broken pencil for a group theme but never got around to posting it. I've tortured it many different ways but not sure I agree with the results so I slid it back to its original state and here it is for this fine Sunday. Seemed appropriate as many are winding up the school year. Happy Slider Sunday - HSS.

May I recommend this oldie but classic -

Considered the largest wood frame structure in Knox County Illinois, this old early 1900’s school house now sits unused except for Halloween spook shows and the like. There is a walnut wood gymnasium on the top floor. This place was a real showcase in it’s day which proves to me that in it’s heyday this town was bustling and prosperous whereas today it is only a sleepy little village with no business district whatsoever. The current population is about 250. The fortunes of this town rose and fell with the railroad. It has been left high and dry by the winds of fate.

This indeed an old school. Located in Nes aan de Amstel, it used to be connected to the local church. Now it is a studio for artists. I run or bike often past it and I am always fascinated by it so needed to come back during sunset.

Have a greet weekend and many thanks for your comments & favs

This old schoolhouse was established in 1880 with 37 students. It was renovated in 2021 and is now a B&B - combining charm and modern comfort for guests on vacation.

My entire career has involved teaching....from preschool to high school, Spanish, English, French, and most recently, Special Education. I’ve loved it all, and it’s painful to see what’s happening now. This forlorn old school bus seems to mirror my feelings....

take care of yourselves

Spotted in Puerto Montt, Southern Chile in January 2008

This a a small twig of springtime blossoms from a tree at my daughter's school. I asked the ladies in the office if I could clip off a bit for my project. The ladies were hesitant about allowing me to use a small bit of the tree but agreed as long as I didn't take too much. I feel grateful for the opportunity to highlight the beauty of the flowers I am gathering from my area.

Le sport c'est bon pour la santé, il paraît...

J'en sais fichtre rien moi, je fais de l'activité physique. Le sport, très peu pour moi.

Par contre : me balader avec un sac photo de 5kg, un trépied de 2kg et un appareil photo de 3kg, c'est une aimable plaisanterie... :-))

Bon, sérieusement, le sport peut être très photogénique, mais les photos de rue et de sport se mélangent...

...Rarement. :-)

School's out

San Xavier del Boc Mission -

Tuscon, Arizona, United States

Here's another photo I never published. From a trip to Tuscon in 2012, this winter scene was shot at the Mission San Xavier del Boc south of the city.

Part of the school across from me

A former tsarist primary school, built in 1912, during the era of Russification. The school operated on this site until 1961, when it was moved to its current location.

In the 1970s, the building housed a butcher shop and was later converted into communal housing. Today, it is still partially occupied. A restored inscription in Russian, "Начaльноe Училище" (Nachalnoye Uchilishche), (Elementary School), along with the date of construction, remains on the façade. Łódź, Poland.

Thank you all for visits, comments & faves :)

A severe warned storm passes by the Arlington School in eastern CO. This storm did not produce any recorded tornadoes in the area, but two days later one would touch down near here.

The Granite School is open to the public, who has, for the most part, not abused it. At the very least, it's still standing and most of the windows are not broken.

This is a rare RB67 shot that was done on the tripod. Usually I handhold everything, but it was too dark for such shenanigans.
