Can you hear the ghosts of your childhood? (p.a.d. 4)

Something different from me today.

Knowing that the wind was going to play havoc with my plans to photograph the Cherry blossom again until dark. I decided to go and look for something to photograph. I didn't know what. I knew I'd know it when I saw it. After about 12 miles on the road I saw it. An old derelict abandoned Schoolhouse.

I explored the scene, saw my shot and took it.

But I was not content with that. As I saw the scene I knew what I wanted to say with the picture and I was eager to try out some tweaks and effects to put that feeling across.

I don't know if the image is too contrived or what. But to me it puts across what I wanted to say. So its fine by me.
