It's a very nice photo anyway....but it may be worth going back some time...the thought of what a photo might look like with some running kids up close in the foreground, and that great old school house, backed by clouds, looming in the background, is very tempting....;-) B.

It is on the top of a hill and fronts on a large graveyard. I didn't know how to access it through town, so I just went up through the roads of the grave yard. When I got closer, I noticed the modern playground equipment and figured it must have been in use. It was sometime after three in the afternoon and when I went around the other side, the mini vans were lined up, with the moms waiting to pick up the kids. The side with the active entrance was the shade side. There were also not any big clouds as as there was on the other side. I don't think I could have held the sky and properly exposed the people in the shade any way. Regards, Robert At 11:48 AM 3/5/2002 -0500, B. D.
