Ten

Ten

Inside a small intact portion of the building were a few remnants of someone's temporary home and this large book; the wind flipped the pages right to the ten commandments!

I would imagine the book was left over from the Ancilla Domini Academy, which last used the buildings.

God sure knows how to send a message! Of all the spots to turn too.... The contrast between the surrounding is really cool.

Hahaha autoguy! That was the exact same thought I had as soon as this image loaded!

This is a great shot. The clean whiteness of the pages are a striking contrast to the rusty desk and aged clutter of the room
