acute

a strong tilt to the right in recent elections is somewhat disturbing...Canada stayed safely in the centre of the spectrum, yet in the USA, and now in Germany, the rise of the right is alarming

here the old Skeen schoolhouse in the Palouse still stands, yet the lean to the right seems a tad more acute compared to a few years ago...dangerous times now on so many fronts

Excellent thought provoking composition!

The tilt to the right is quite scary. It’s so disheartening and disturbing. I get depressed listening to the news. The symbolism here is loud and clear. Our freedoms are hanging by a thread. V

Superb image and deep food for thought.

Well, I hope our country doesn't topple over for leaning too much one way or the other. This image made me want to tilt my head. V

Fantastic shot! And yes several world leaders are lunatics.....

Perfectly composed David and an excellent capture as well. ~BV~

It's amazing that this barn doesn't overturn... interesting find! V

So does this mean when this building collapses so goes the major players in the world???? Dangerous times indeed. V

It's amazing that it's still standing! V

Maybe one should be looking from the back of the building ... Wonderful capture, David. V

To far a shift to the right will surely result in collapse. V

Great documentary shot, and a good one to illustrate the German election. The result was a forgone conclusion. The two main parties CDU and SPD can not deliver, so the voters look for alternatives. It should be interesting now with six parties represented in the Bundestag now. "V"

Watching you last images I get the feeling that I must stop to drink ;)
A superb image... The rise of the right is indeed alarming all around Europe and America, but, considering your image the right's creature helps to keep up the schoolhouse... What, in fact, in real life is not in the center of the concerns of the Extreme right... :) I vote for this image while it is still possible to vote.

the old schoolhouse resists and is still standing in spite of the onslaught of the wind, but little by little it will collapse. V

Wonderful photo of this shifting house.

Ooops! Inclined, like Pisa tower. V!
Pieter Bos26-Sep-2017 03:55
Needs some repair, I think. ~V

Terrific shot and commentary.
Gill Kopy26-Sep-2017 01:19
From the inside the lean would be to the left !!! Cool shot and love your commentary !BV

A fine find and capture. The winds in the Palouse must be very strong. Or the carpenters of this era were not very skilled. ;-)
Sam Rua26-Sep-2017 00:31
Oooh, love the commentary.

Interesting to see the resourcefulness of repurposing a truck frame as a support. Much the same with the current political climate repurposing the framework of fear and hate to support a tilted platform.

Strange times and even the wooden school gets a bit dizzy
Colin Storey25-Sep-2017 21:43
That's a fantastic image of this impressive old schoolhouse, great and concerning narrative also.
Phillip Normanton25-Sep-2017 21:11
Bit of a lefty lean up top :)
Helen Betts25-Sep-2017 20:56
That certainly is an interesting looking schoolhouse, and I agree, the tilt to the right is very alarming.
peterjay4525-Sep-2017 20:49
A fine shot of the old schoolhouse, David.
Neil Marcus25-Sep-2017 20:37
Your views of the Political current times are alarming, I agree. I hope some will prop up our freedoms at least as well as the schoolhouse. I like your view...of the front view also. "VV"
Martin Lamoon25-Sep-2017 20:23
I agree! We are all governed by people who do not understand.
Love the lens distortion........

That's quite a lean!
