All that remains
This image was made from what used to be the inside of the school, which has been closed since 1975. These days, a farmer uses the school grounds for storage – the last time I stopped by, there were stacks of fiberglass fertilizer tanks against one wall of the building.
(For other images of this place, you can go here, and here, and here, and here.)

Coexistence
The despair of destruction, the hope of new construction with the buttresses on the left, the humanity of a table and chairs set outside: there’s a lot going on here.

Tree claws at moon
This is the other end of the building that’s shown here – obviously this end is holding up a little bit better.
It feels like those tree branches are clawing away at the scrap of moon in the corner, but I have an idea that the moon was able to escape.

Duplex
The road snakes its way back toward Santa Rosa, behind this adobe building, which I have taken the liberty of calling a duplex.
If you would rather go to Fort Sumner and it hasn’t rained in a while and you’re feeling brave, you can take County Road 2P. It’s neither paved nor fenced, giving the occasional traveler a very close look at cows.

Window air conditioner
Most of the main part of the Riverwalk is developed, with hotels and restaurants and bars competing for those tourist dollars. But every now and then, there’s a place that’s been passed by, that serves as a reminder of what the whole place used to look like.
This was one of those places.
