This is another great idea for a country girl, or a girl who loves antique tractors!

## 37. Downstairs

_ Via senior_
How pretty is this? It'd be especially perfect if the steps led to a part of the school you loved, like the theater or library.

## 38. Luminous

_ Via Katka_
This shot is so simple, but so pretty!

## 39. Vintage Car

![Vintage Car](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/v1/f4/sp5wkhso_425x640.jpg)

This is another train-tracks shot, only without the drama. Again, if you want to shoot on the tracks, make sure they're disused - it's too risky to use tracks that are still in operation!

## 44. Picnic?

Via [Sparkles and Pretending](https://sparklesandpretending.tumblr.com/post/30802471516)
Balloons make great props... I'd choose colors that are a little brighter, or that match your outfit, like hers.

## 46. Sparkle and Shine

Get one last shot on the track before you dash off to your post-high school life - I love this shot!
