PhotoHunt: School
These photos were taken in New Zealand, where schools of old were probably not too different than they were here in the US (well, except maybe for the rules for teachers). I remember the "cloak room."

Kissed; (First, I gotta tell you, I love your blog name.) Thanks for coming and your comments.
Jingle: Thank you. I found the school very interesting.
tnchick: Yeah, huh? My daughter is a teacher. She never would have made it there. The "loitering in ice creams shops" alone would have done it. Thanks for visiting!
While I am the very definition of an amateur photographer, it is something I enjoy doing. Attribute it, perhaps, to a manifestation of early mental miasma. There are so many little bits of life -- characters, colors, composition, vignettes, snippets of conversation, sightings both natural and otherwise -- that delight me. I don't want to lose them in that miasma, so I try to capture them in one way or another. The camera has a long memory.
That is awesome! Cool pics!
