Show Us A Picture You've Taken Of Something Unusual, Uncommon or Strange

I didn't know where to put this, thinking it wasn't really all that strange but perhaps a little unusual and certainly somewhat different Anyway, 4 years ago this month, I went to the Hallmark Institute of Photography. . . . .

. . . . and it was closed, defunct and abandoned. None of that Hallmark love, romance or photo-know-how was there. To be honest, I already knew the place was closed but wanted to show up on the front door and get a pic before the building was sold and the name changed. You would have to think that a for-profit school wouldn't get too far using the Hallmark name. Future images of the Hallmark Institute of Photography will likely be quite rare.
 

This is probably not unusual or strange but I couldn't decide where to stick it. So here it is!

This is the site of the Civilian Conservation Corp in the McDonough State Park near here. It was opened for 8 years and more than 1500 hundred men passed through the camps replanting the trees that had been taken out in previous years for agriculture. They also reconstructed ponds, bridges and other things. This one was active until 1941. This is all that is left.
