All sunsets are lovely, but some really stand out. I think this qualifies as a standout!

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.

Well ... I named this large pool of water left by the storms the evening before 'Courthouse Lake' ... it would last for maybe a day or two until the sun dried it all back up.
A pretty are there in Arches with incredible rock formations. Rain the previous evening provided for some visual drama with the 'lakes' there in puddles.

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.
This 1880 courthouse building is located right next to the Bed and Breakfast/Motel in which I stayed in Bridgeport, CA before visiting Bodie the next day.
The Millerton Courthouse was built in 1867 and was the county seat for Fresno County. It was originally built where the lakebed is now. They dismantled and moved the courthouse to this location when they decided to build the dam because the history behind the building. The San Joaquin River was unpredictable with its yearly flooding, and the community moved West to where the new train line went through Fresno.
The front of the building is made of brick, but if you were able to see the rest of the building, you would see huge granite stone blocks that were used for the walls. The jail windows had four sets of bars and were close to 2 feet thick. The flagpole is an interesting side story. A boy scout used the flagpole as a project to become an eagle scout. I thought that was pretty cool.

Beaumont, Texas: Historical Marker:
The first county building constructed at this site was a jailhouse completed in 1838, two years after the organization of Jefferson County. Located on land acquired from Nancy Tevis, a pioneer settler of the area, it also housed county offices and courts. When the commissioners court outgrew the facility, sessions were held in private homes. The first courthouse here was completed in 1854. Built by John A. Beaumont, it was a two-story square structure surrounded by a six-foot picket fence. Baptist and Methodist congregations conducted Sunday services in the building and during the Civil War it was leased to D. T. Inglehart, a Confederate surgeon, for use as a hospital. A second courthouse was constructed in 1893, twelve years after the incorporation of Beaumont. Designed by E. T. Heiner, it was a three-story red brick building with white trim. Following the area oil boom of the 1920s it proved inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population and was replaced by the present brick courthouse in 1931. Designed by Fred Stone and A. Babin, the fourteen-story building features art deco styling in the use of sculpted ornamentation and marble interior work.
