School is out. Forever.

When new schools are built old ones are simply thrown away. So is the case with Sue Reynolds Elementary. Upon entering the grounds overrun with grass and graffiti. Archaic desks, tables and chairs fill the halls where children once learned and though the brand new school is less than a mile down the road, I find this piece of history way more interesting. 

Stray.

If you don't know me, I am a sucker for cats, and no matter where I can't seem to escape them. Mack and I went out to Graniteville to see if we could enter the abandoned mills. Upon searching for an entrance I noticed a cat manning the security booth. Once stopped they all seemed to appear and disappear. The time there was short because of the storm clouds ahead. What saddened me most was the possibility of the only food they could have gotten in days had been ruined by rain. An unorthodox addition to my camera bag is now a can of cat food. 

Places forgotten

I love taking photos of abandoned places, recently I stumbled across an old mini-golf course. I always find it so beautiful that a place that once created such happiness could just stop all of a sudden. I was also able to get inside due to a broken door, but there wasn't much there. I hope to find more places like this and share them with you.
