Transylvania Elementary School and other sights

The highway between Tallulah and Lake Providence is a wonderful road to travel. Here are four from a recent trip up that way:
Nuts and bolts on a 55-gallon drum in Sondheimer

Tires against a tree near Transylvania

The slide at the abandonded Transylvania Elementary School

  1. I love the way you find beauty in everything, Marty ... even in rusty nuts and bolts and old sliding boards.

  2. I love the colors in the door photo, as well. And I wonder what was on that sign taped on the door---was it an announcement, a "Use Other Door" reminder, or a caution that stepping out the red into the green might cause the unwary to be tripped, trapped or never seen again.

    Stephen King would LOVE this picture.

  4. I'm a Vicksburg native living in Baton Rouge and would love to use some of your pictures from your blog with your permission to spark some writing from my 9th grade students. I just find them so inspiring. If I have your blessing, please let me know.
