Photo Hunt #5: Beautiful


Photo Hunt #5: Beautiful, originally uploaded by airam94564.

Fourth Ward School--now a community center. It was a school from its construction in 1876 to 1936.

This is my entry for this week's Photo Hunt. This is not my first choice for this week, but I thought I would go with something from the series Virginia City to keep the series moving.

I find old buildings, both preserved and restored, simply beautiful. This one specifically. It must have been a joy to come here to learn. How lucky those many children who learned under this magnificent building. It is an eye catcher without a doubt.

In addition, I find the presence of the bikers adding to the substance and overall beauty of this image. [I initially wanted to post this for SWF].
