Shards from the Past

Just north of the Locust Street bridge along the east side of the Milwaukee River, once stood the River Colony.  These shards of coffee cups, bottles, plates are some of the very few items left of this very unique neighborhood.

Abandoned School House and a Comfy Chair

Abandoned School and Comfy Chair

I originally shot this old school house interior and broken chair back in March of 2012.   My wife and I were taking the backroads in northern Illinois somewhere near Rockford when we passed this old building.  Of course, I immediately hit the brakes and turned around and started shooting.
