Got up at 5 am to go hike around in -1 deg temps just hoping for some good light on the fresh blanket of snow.
Originally posted September 25, 2007. I brought it forward because I miss Sonoma county so......and because it's my most recently published image, in a Bike Monkey special edition on the Amgen Tour of California ( issuu.com/bikemonkey/docs/atoc2012 ) . ;-) I love the way fog lights up with backlighting. It was probably COLD down there in the valley, but so glorious up above the fog! ;-) Somewhere in the valley between Petaluma and Bodega Bay,CA. Sonoma Mountain in the background.
Completed in 1873 the Adams County Courthouse in Decatur, Indiana is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
County Wicklow, Ireland. Nature, landscape, lake, forest, trees, rocks, boulders, ferns, moss, lichens.
I was in desperate search mode as I looked for a foreground for the late afternoon sky. I found this small building just a couple of minutes before the light was gone.
It be Friday and we have fence. I have snowy fences too, but I am not in a frame of mind to post them.
Recommend to start the loop hike from Peterson Trail to Sanborn Trail, then to San Andreas Trail, for a gradual elevation gain. Start with San Andreas Trail if you want an intense workout.
Milwaukee, WI (Milwaukee County)
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of Milwaukee County, the city is located on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore and was incorporated in 1846. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 590,157, making it the 31st largest city in the United States and the fourth-largest city situated along one of the Great Lakes.
The first large wave of settlement to the areas that would later become Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee began in 1835, following removal of the tribes in the Council of Three Fires. Early that year it became known that Juneau and Kilbourn intended to lay out competing town-sites. By the year's end both had purchased their lands from the government and made their first sales. There were perhaps 100 new settlers in this year, mostly from New England and other Eastern states. On September 17, 1835, the first election was held in Milwaukee; the number of votes cast was 39.

Built in 1877 in the "Second Empire" style, the Chippewa County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. This architectural style, with a mansard roof and square-based tower was common in the 1800s.
John Scott, the architect, designed this building, giving it two-foot thick stones walls, and a tower that is fronted by a statue of "Justice".
