School Murals

While cruising down a rural Louisiana highway, I had an unexpected encounter - an abandoned school, seemingly emerging out of nowhere. Unlike others I've discovered, this one was a treasure trove of murals, each telling a silent story on its walls. Interestingly, there were no boards barring entry, and unsurprisingly, vandals had made their mark.

The most intriguing feature? Two rooms at the end, each with more than eight sides – I'm not sure of the exact term for their shape. These unique spaces might have once been cozy reading rooms or something similar, holding secrets of their past use. A fascinating find indeed!
