hollow hallways
As I said in the previous post, we did return to the school for a more thorough documentation during the day. We didn't leave as early as we would like but we did have enough daylight to photograph the entire school.
This school was so large and seemed to go on forever. Of course desks were still in the school, old equipment, posters and learning aids and books were all over. This school was equipped with a wood working shop, dark room, computer labs, science lab, large library and more. It was originally designed for 400 kids but at max capacity it held about an eighth of that.
This cornerstone of the community and close knit school was a huge lose to the community. It is sad to see something like this close when it was obvious it was in good condition but this is just a reality of this province and these schools.

school sneak preview
Went out on the road the other day to photograph some churches. Of course when we go looking for churches we usually drive through towns along the way that we may have not visited previously. While photographing a small town we drove around and noticed a very large school with large weeds and overgrown sidewalks. Driving closer we discovered it was a very large modern abandoned town in what seemed to be a town of less than 50 people. It was amazing that this school was in such a small town and with no vandalism on the outside. Since the light was quickly fading, we did a quick walk through photographing quickly with a plan to return in the next couple weeks as an opportunity like this has not presented itself in a while.
