Schools are colorful and dynamic places when class is in session. Lights off, without teachers and students, schools can be hauntingly still. The lack of color, other than blue, makes this empty classroom look even colder. The rectangles within rectangles, within rectangles, evoke geometric rigidity.
This picture could have been taken anywhere; however, if you are from Greensboro, you can guess in which of the 22 Guilford County middle schools this view was captured. Leave us a comment and we'll give the answer after everyone's had a chance.
I have no clue, but I like your idea!

Having taught for many years, I always felt the same way -- when the kids left, the room was cold and dead. Of course, there were many days when I wished they would leave...I wanted cold and dead!
The last day of school was special, though. You just can't imagine how wonderful it was to walk away for a few weeks unless you've been a teacher!

Thanks for commenting. It's Aycock Middle School in the Aycock Historic District.
