Red Bull Illume297 viewsTim took the opportunity to shoot the downtown skyline as well. Considering we didn't bring a tripod and he was bracing the camera up against the bridge railng during the long exposures, we thought these turned out pretty well.

Shop Room tool area291 viewsSince the high school left 20 years ago, the shop room was largely converted into a high-tech distance learning facility (which for some reason I didn't take a picture of). But parts of the 'old' shop room still exist, like this tool storage area, which, although much messier than our old shop instructor Mr. Wiebenga would have kept it, is about the same as I remember it.

It's been a great ride291 viewsThe sign reads "End of an ere, beginning of a dream... It's been a great ride"

This was the sign displayed as the school closed for good.
