Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

This picture is when we went on a field trip. We got off the bus and started walking. It felt like if we were walking inside a forest. The old building that you see in the picture is hidden in the middle of a lot of trees. The kids in the picture found this building and they took pictures. This is when I took this picture. I took it because the building looked like it had been there for a long time. This picture looks awesome because it looks like it is in the middle of a war. It looks like you are on a museum tour, and they show you this building and explain that it has been there for 300 years or more. For me, this picture is interesting because of how it looks.
