Eutaw, Greene County, AL USA
This is the historical Greene County Courthouse erected in 1869 is vacant and in a state of ill repair. It's located in the center of courthouse square with three other buildings on corners of the square. One of the corner buildings is occupied by the Probate Judge (tax assessor) and has been renovated. The other two buildings are vacant. It appears that court was held in this building while supporting offices were located in the corner buildings. The Probate Office is the only remaining active building of the three corner buildings.

In looking for some windows with which to honor Wednesday, I came across the Courthouse built 1901 in Wheeler County. This county is Oregon's least populous county with 1,381 residents in 2013, a decline from it's peak of 3,313 in 1950. Wheeler County contains 1,713 square miles; the county seat is Fossil. The area is internationally known for it's fossils.
Happy Window Wednesday!
Historic Utah County Courthouse. Provo, Utah, USA.
Architect John Nelson. Sculptor Joseph Conradi.
Decidated in 1929.
Magnificent Ionic columns stand on either side of the front entrance to the historic Utah County Courthouse. This building has a symbolic sculptural group in the pediment above the entrance: the figure of Justice stands in the center; a woman sitting on the right hand side represents County of Utah. Various arts and industries are represented as well: horticulture, dairying, mining, and sheep raising. On the other side of Justice sits Provo City. She is flanked by the harp and viol, the face, the cog-wheel, a stack of books, and an artist's palette.
Best seen in large view.
This was a decoration on the corner of the Washington County courthouse in Hillsboro, Oregon... Thought it was something a little different from the normal kinds of pics for me....
Visited Courthouse Falls for the first time in about 3 years. Had pretty good conditions. I wasn't able to stay long and was not able to get as many compositions as I would liked. During my last visit there was a large tree lying diagonally across the falls. That is gone but there is another very large tree just a bit downstream. I used it as my vantage point for this photo. I would have liked to get out into the water for perhaps better compositions. Guess I'll just need to revisit it soon.
Thanks for viewing my photo stream. Comments are always welcome.

I am loving this intimate view of Courthouse Falls in the Pisgah National Forest. I had this waterfall on my list for a long time and finally visited this past summer. It was a perfect day for waterfalls with overcast skies and rain showers. There was a ton of debris at the base of the falls but I found this up close view just as intriguing as the wide angle perspective. I love all the subtle details and colors in the rock.

Courthouse Falls is in the Pisgah National Forest on Courthouse Creek. The headwaters of this creek spring from the slope of a rock formation on the Blue Ridge Parkway called "Devil's Courthouse.". The falls are reached by an easy 20 minute hike once you drive the three miles up a bumpy dirt road to the trail head on Forest Road 140.
This panorama consists of 7 upright frames) I initially took enough eposures for an HDR pano, but took the easy way out. Really, the only high contrast was in the waterfall anyway. Sorry about the blowing leaves in the upper left. There was no way around that with 30 sec exposures.
The United States Post Office and Courthouse, also once known as the Federal Building, is located at 200 N. 8th Street in Quincy. Completed in 1887, the post office occupied the first floor of the building, with the Federal Courtroom on the second floor.
Quincy is a city of exceptional architectural variety and quality. Styles ranging from Greek Revival to designs influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright can be seen. Somewhat unusual in style for Illinois at the time is this French Renaissance Revival style post office building which features a limestone exterior, arched entrances, and an ornate roof with pointed gables and dormers. Prepared in Washington by the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Mifflin E. Bell (1846-1904), its modified early French Renaissance design is reminiscent of the chateaux of the Loire Valley. In fact, Bell's inspiration for the structure came from the William K. Vanderbilt House in New York City, designed by Richard Morris Hunt.
While the structure has not been used as a federal courthouse since the late 1970s, it continues in use as a post office station. In 1996, the post office was renamed the Orville H. Browning Station. Browning (1806-1881), a resident of Quincy, was a distinguished attorney, state legislator, congressman, United States Senator, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. He also served as Secretary of the Interior under President Andrew Johnson.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Out this past weekend exploring the greater Kansas City area and wound up in Independence, MO...hometown of President Harry Truman. We were looking for a Pub to stop at and discovered the Historic Truman Courthouse. This beautiful building was originally constructed in 1836, but has been renovated and improved numerous times over the years. I broke out my Minolta Autocord L-MX TLR for a photo and found this view the most advantageous with this square format camera. I would have preferred not having the truck in the scene, but it was parked there and sometimes you have to take what the scene gives you.

I had wanted to shoot the Park Avenue at Arches National Park but soon realized that it is not well situated for any kind of nice light or sky conditions as it runs north south with one side always blocking the other side from the sunrise and/or sunset. This shot is from the tail end of the Park Avenue valley and more prominently features the Courthouse Towers area.
Looking into the archives from last year, I ran across this photo of the Rockingham County Courthouse, located at Court Square in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The structure was built in 1897 as noted on a marker at the site. I have other photos of this beautiful courthouse on my photostream but decided to post this one as well. Explore 454, 4/18/2020.
A quick trip to Jefferson City offered a few photo opportunities. This is the third Cole County Courthouse, built in 1897 and designed by local architect Frank B. Miller, in Romanesque Revival style. It featured fire-proof vaults for storing county records which proved useful when the courthouse burned in 1918.

January 2: to Sedona, Bell Rock in the snow
Courthouse Towers is a cluster of tall stone columns and spires that rise dramatically from the desert floor. Their sheer vertical faces and open sky make them one of the park’s most iconic silhouettes.
Located at Court Square in Harrisonburg, Virginia, the Rockingham County Courthouse dates to 1897 and is the fifth building on the site to serve as the courthouse. I've photographed this structure on numerous occasions, but this is the first shot I've posted with a horizontal perspective. Information from the county government website.
Here is another photo I recently took of Courthouse Falls in western North Carolina. Courthouse Falls is located about midway between US64 and the Blue Ridge Parkway on NC215. You'll need to take a gravel forest road three miles in from NC215. Its a short easy hike. If you go into the stream, as I did here, always watch your footing as the rocks are very slippery.

Courthouse Butte is one of Sedona's most prominent and beautiful formations. The butte is just north of the Village of Oak Creek, Arizona, south of Sedona in Yavapai County. The summit elevation is 5,454 feet. Courthouse Butte is just east of Bell Rock.
I'd finished up taking a few shots at Courthouse Falls last May and decided to try to capture a few close ups of the rushing water...
Built in 1861 in the Greek Revival style, the Iowa County Courthouse faces east and is a two story buff colored native Galena limestone structure. The building has a portico on the east front supported by four large white colored Doric columns. Above the entrance is an octagonal white colored cupola. The building was enlarged in 1894, 1927 and 1969 and the interior was renovated. The columns and cupola were restored in 1937. The building is the oldest courthouse in Wisconsin still used as a courthouse.
A carpet of Pinyon and Juniper woodland waits in the waning darkness for winter sunlight to warm the needles and bear witness to the dawn of a new year, Sedona, Arizona. If I could be bold enough to speak for the trees (like the Lorax), I suspect we humans are viewed as mobile nutrient packets with short-term perspectives.
