Adobe School
The exterior of this abandoned school gave me no clue that the walls were adobe, and even when I first look thorough (what was left of) the front door, I couldn’t really believe what I was seeing. I was about to call in the expert, my Patient Spouse, for his architectural opinion on it. The next window I looked through, though, confirmed it: that v-shaped hole in the wall is typical of the way adobe erodes and not at all the way masonry does.
But it still seems odd.

So how, did you learn how Adobe erodes?

Observation, I guess. Since it’s basically made of mud and grasses, it melts when it isn’t carefully tended.

Love the light, the decay and the composition!

Thanks, Mark. I was happy to have more-or-less accidentally ended up in this town. There’s plenty to see there.
