The Courthouse Loop Trail offers stunning views of the Bell Rock, Courthouse Rock, and surrounding landscapes. The east face of Courthouse Butte illuminated by the rising sun was spectacular this morning.
A second set of columns in Columbia located at the Boone County Courthouse on 8th street aligned with the iconic columns at Jessie Hall on the campus of the University of Missouri. Looking south toward East Broadway the sun peaks out from behind one of the columns. The long shadows of the low sun creates a leading line to one of the middle columns.

The Merced County Courthouse was built in 1875 and is one of the oldest historical buildings in California. The building was built by State Capitol Architect, Albert A. Bennett and is Italianate in style. This is the top of the building and one of my favorite sights in the City of Merced.
Located five blocks from the lakefront, the Sheboygan County Courthouse glows under the pink skies of this beautiful sunset.
All sunsets are lovely, but some really stand out. I think this qualifies as a standout!

Seems there are more fences around here than I thought. This is in our nearby town of Fincastle around the county courthouse.
Happy Fence Friday:)
I really liked this little set of cascades I found just before the top of Courthouse Falls. The shape of the rock and the flow of the water had so much character to them. Ginny and I had to wait out a rain storm while on this hike but it was well worth it for the views and having this place to ourselves.

The courthouse in downtown Red Lodge Montana, designed by Butte architect P. J. Donahue , was built in 1899 to replace its predecessor that had been destroyed by fire. Situated at the busy northern end of the commercial district, the building today provides an excellent example of restrained, classically proportioned public building design. When foundation settling after construction produced a wide crack on the northeast wall, fear of collapse caused rapid evacuation of the courtroom on several occasions before it was stabilized in the 1940s. Despite numerous alterations and additions, the courthouse retains its prominence as a sturdy reminder of the town’s role as the political and economic center of Carbon County and its ranching and mining communities.
Built: 1892
Architect: Leslie P. Langworthy
Style: Richardson Romanesque
Location: West Kingston, Rhode Island - USA
Since 1988 the building has been in use as The Courthouse Center for the Arts.

This is Pulaski County Courthouse in Hawkinsville, Georgia. "Pulaski County Courthouse is a Classical Revival building in Hawkinsville, Georgia dating from 1874. The building is located on the southwest corner of Commerce Street and North Lumpkin Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The core of the building was built in 1874. In 1885, the courthouse's clock was added. In 1897 and 1910, it had major additions. It is unusual among courthouses for having a chapel, just outside the entrance to the courtroom, which is used for weddings and prayer groups." Wikipedia.
Early 1919 heralded a collaborative initiative between the citizens of Utah County and Provo City to commission a joint administrative building. Architect Joseph Nelson was appointed to envision its design, with an exploratory visit to the west coast informing the architectural direction.
Construction bids opened on June 18, 1920, with Rudine and Chytraus of Salt Lake City emerging as the favored contractors. After several phases of construction and deliberations on design aspects, the edifice reached its completion in late 1926, having spanned over six and a half years.
At a cost of $576,495.30, the courthouse is not merely a structure but a testament to the industry of those who brought it to fruition.
Its Neoclassic design pays homage to ancient Greek architectural principles, with influences notably from the temple of Minerva in Athens. Symbolic sculptures, conceived by Architect Joseph Nelson and executed by Joseph Conradi, adorn its pediment, eloquently narrating its multifunctional essence. -- Courtesy Utah County

The Hill County Courthouse dominates the center of the Hillsboro Texas on a stormy April day. Hill County was created in 1853 by a special session of the State Legislature by subdividing Navarro County. The plan for a new county had been devised a year earlier by doctor Josephus Murray Steiner and Elijah Sterling Clack Robinson in order to stimulate land speculation. The County bears the name of local resident, Dr. George Washington Hill, who had served as Secretary of War for President Sam Houston and was a member of the State Legislature when the county was formed. Hillsboro was laid out, named the county seat, and settled. The towns growth was slow until 1881 when the railroad arrived bringing with it accelerated growth and prosperity with cotton and other agricultural products being at the center of that economic growth.
As the town and county grew so did the need for a new courthouse. In the late 1880s, Waco architect W. C. Dodson was hired to design a county courthouse. The building finished in 1890 was the third and arguably the grandest of three similar courthouses designed by Dodson. The Hill County Courthouse is regionally recognized as a architectural marvel. The three-story limestone structure design is patterned after the Second Empire style, but it incorporates Classical Revival and Italianate influences. The building’s two story high Corinthian columns, mansard roof treatment, and a wood framed three-tier 70 foot high clock tower covered with ornate tin work sets it apart from other county courthouses of the time.
The Courthouse caught fire on the night of January 1, 1993. The destruction was nearly complete. All that remained standing was the four limestone walls. The courthouse was a wooden frame structure and the clock tower and wooden truss supported interior collapsed onto the basement. The massive iron staircases survived and during the rest of the 1990’s the county residents lovingly worked on the old courthouse until it was restored almost perfectly in nearly every detail.
The Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Parker County Courthouse in Weatherford Texas. This courthouse in the middle of a roundabout and I I have always wanted to try some light trail photography for quite awhile. Not too bad an image I think!
I wanted the car in this shot to give a sense of just how huge the rock formations are in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, and how abruptly they rise from a flat plain. This Courthouse Towers peak is way bigger than most buildings in Philadelphia. Okay, that was a bad example. Most things are bigger than a Philadelphia building. But the high walls of these rocks really are spectacular. Photographed on Jeff Clow's Dirt Cheap Photo Tour.
