Love it! Bets on a schoolhouse, though sometimes these little buildings double as churches or triple as community centers when it’s a really small town.

There is a bell at the top that could have been used for either. Good afternoon, Marilyn.

Multi-purpose simplicity. Is that an outhouse in the back right?

I don’t know what that is back there, but it appears to have some sort of something connected to it. Might be a modern day doohickey.

I just love these old buildings. I’m hoping to spend more time in the backcountry around Ouray this summer 🙂

Hooray for Ouray, and Ingrid too.

Did you get a chance to go inside? These old structures are always fascinating. I agree, this building could be either of those – I’ll go with school house! Very nice photo, Mike.

Thanks. We did not go exploring as we were on our way out of there, and I think I shot this from my driver’s window (tell no one how lazy I am)

No worries! We’ve all done the “out the window shot” before! I can’t say my window shots have ever been this good though!

Mike I love the cloud formation above…almost looks like smoke coming out of the building.

Yes! I liked it for the same reason. Good eye.

Hi Mike! I really, really like this one. The clarity of the trees, the wisp of cloud, the perspective that makes everything larger than life. Awesome!

Hi Laurie. Thanks. It worked well as a B&W but had some really nice blue sky in the original.
