I think the other side of the building is more interesting with the old wooden frame in the background, but I like this one also. I hope you got some more detailed shots of the vines growing on the building and some broken parts of the building. Good work.
Another nice shot of the old jail. I wonder how long it's been since the building was in service? It looks like it's been abandoned for decades but it also appears to have the remnents of an ADA ramp in front.
For my birth town in Oklahoma, I wish I knew where the photographs of some of the old buildings were. You may be doing a service for someone, if they can find you.
Thanks Patrick, Larry, and Wayne!
Patrick - Initially the 6' perimeter fence limited the shots I could get but the real limitation is that I just don't have myself trained to think about detail shots often enough. I had a long telephoto in the truck I could have used to get as close as I wanted if I would have thought to use it! Live and learn I guess!
Larry - I have a history of the jail that was recently published in a San Marcos newspaper. I'm curious about the answers to your questions so I'll try and remember to look them up and post them here soon.
Wayne - I'm trying to include as many tags, labels, etc. as I can to help the search engines find my photos when people search for them. Hopefully my efforts will allow anyone interested in one of the subjects of my photos to find it. Time will tell I guess.
Cheers!
Barry
