Wilkinson Public School
This old school was built in 1904 and sits on the west side of Wilkinson. The old ‘newer’ addition on the left still stands also but has it’s large windows missing. This photo was taken November 28, 2009 and is looking southwest.
Later Note: This old school is now gone.
Another View of the School
This view is looking northwest. I was headed somewhere else to take photos but wasn’t allowed on the property so I ended up in Wilkeinon, Shirley and Knightstown. I was rather excited about finding this old school as so many of them are gone. I have some closeup views that I will post later.
Wilkinson Public School - Tower
I just had to include this view being a tower man and it also includes the title and date stone.
An Old Fence row in Winter
Every once in a while I will include a scene and fewer yet, one during the winter unless it is close to home. This old fence row has gone for years without clearing and there is a fence in there somewhat intact. This is a ways in back of where I live near Greenfield and the distant small woods is my tromping ground. It was a cold breezy day and I had my new camera with me in hopes of finding some good closeup views in the woods. I realized after posting this that I had not thought to use the snow mode and still haven’t. I guess I am too much into manual settings.
Last Year's Leaves Hanging On
Ragged leaves from last year and I was rather happy with this shot. This was the last photo I took on this particular walk, it was cold and windy, and the snow was fairly deep but thanks to the tilt LCD on my camera, I didn’t have to sit in the snow to get this. This and the photo above were taken on February 1, 2009.
A Snowy December Day
This scene of farm fields is about 100 feet or so from the wetlands shown on page 1 and was taken on December 19, 2009.
Railroad Depot in Shirley
The railroad tracks are gone but the old depot still stands and is now used as a museum. This view is looking west and part of an octagonal house can be seen behind the depot to the right.
Another View of the Depot
A straight on view looking north-northwest. Both photos of the depot were taken on November 28, 2009.
Octagonal House in Shirley
I would like to see the interior of one of these houses. This view is looking northwest. These photos were taken on November 28, 2009.
An Old Abandoned House
This old house sits a few miles southeast of Greenfield. I love the old tree…it adds a lot to the view. This was on the morning of March 19, 2010.
