"Sedona's main attraction is its stunning array of red sandstone formations, the Red Rocks of Sedona. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The Red Rocks form a breathtaking backdrop for everything from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails."

The beautiful courthouse in my home town.
I am leaving Colorado after having lived here since 1975. Things are just getting too expensive here and it's getting too crowded.
I'm heading back to where I grew up. 20 miles from where I grew up anyway. I just need to go somewhere quiet and peaceful for a bit of time. There will be a lot that I will miss. Many restaurant choices, having a lot of grocery stores to shop at. Live music. BUT- I think it will work out just fine.
Kansas City and Omaha aren't terribly far, so if I need a 'city fix' I can head there for a weekend.
I'm looking forward to spending time exploring the midwest for a change.
When I grow up, I want to be just like that tree - taller than Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. (View from Slim Shady Trail in Sedona.)
The beautiful Greenspond Courthouse, in the community of Greenspond, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Built between 1899-1901.
Greenspond Courthouse is a wooden two-storey courthouse built in the Second Empire Style. Designed by architect William Henry Churchill, the courthouse sits atop a hill overlooking Greenspond Harbour and Bonavista Bay.
Greenspond Courthouse has been designated a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador for its aesthetic and historic value.
Greenspond Courthouse has aesthetic value as it is a good example of an early 20th century government building in the Second Empire Style – a style that was popular for government buildings in Newfoundland during this time. The mansard roof, dormer windows and tower are particularly good indicators of the style. Greenspond Courthouse is a sturdy wooden building utilizing traditional materials and stands as a testament to the quality of both materials and craftsmanship during this time period. The layout of the interior of the courthouse is also well preserved including the courtroom and the living area on the upper floor.
Greenspond Courthouse also has aesthetic value for its association with architect William Henry Churchill. Churchill was Superintendent of Public Buildings in the early 1900s and was known for using the Second Empire style in many of his designs.
Greenspond Courthouse has further aesthetic value due to its environmental setting. Its location on a hill overlooking Greenspond Harbour reinforces the importance of the courthouse in the community. The Greenspond Courthouse is a landmark in the community, being highly visible from both land and sea.
Greenspond Courthouse has historic value due to its connection to judicial activities both in the community of Greenspond and in the greater Bonavista North area. The cornerstone was laid in 1899 and construction continued for two years. The Courthouse served as the centre of all judicial activities in the area during the early part of the 20th century. Today Greenspond Courthouse is one of a few remaining early 20th century courthouses in the province. It has served a number of functions during its history, including its use as a courthouse and as a home for the jailer and his family. Furthermore, Greenspond Courthouse also served as a morgue when there were shipwrecks.

The Highland County Courthouse, located in Monterey, Virginia, was built in 1948, as noted in a regional news article. I've also photographed this courthouse during the Highland Maple Festival in March, when many vendors are set up on its grounds.

Courthouse Towers marks the end of the one mile trail from park ave and is one of the larger stand alone rock faces in the park. Sunny clear skies again :sigh: I did manage to get the sun just peeking out the top to add some interestingness though.

Here's a straight-ahead shot of the Culpeper County Courthouse, which I took with a vertical perspective, as opposed to the angled horizontal shot already on my photostream.
Trying out my Mavic Air 2 today. A smaller drone that held it's ground, or should I say air, during 15mph winds. Details, at a first glance seem to be there. I'll want to do some more exploration for sure. Nervousness meant that this would be my only shot using the new drone.
Built: 1767, still in active use.

"The Chowan County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Edenton, the county seat of Chowan County, North Carolina. Built in 1767, it is one of the finest examples of public Georgian architecture in the American South. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.
The old Chowan County Courthouse is located in downtown Edenton, at the northwest corner of East King and Court Streets. It is separated from the city waterfront by a one-block park. It is a two-story, T-shaped Georgian style building. It has a one-story semicircular apse at its center rear and features a two-stage wooden cupola with ogival roof surmounted by a tall-weathervane. The interior has a large courtroom on the ground floor, and a ballroom on the second. The building has seen only relatively modest alterations.
Edenton was settled in 1658 and incorporated in 1712, and is counted as the first permanent European settlement in North Carolina. Its first courthouse, built in 1719, was also the seat of the colonial assembly, and was located on the land of the park. This courthouse was commissioned to be built in 1766, and completed in 1767, and its design has been attributed to Gilbert Leigh, who was living in Edenton at the time of its construction. It has also been attributed to John Hawks, who designed Tryon Palace in New Bern, was active in North Carolina at the time. It is the oldest courthouse building in North Carolina.
The courthouse is one of several sites of Historic Edenton. Other historic sites open for tour include the James Iredell House, Roanoke River Light, Barker House, Cupola House and St. Paul's Church." (Wikipedia)

On the other side of this building is the much more colorful Superman museum in Metropolis, IL. However, instead of focusing on that, I decided to focus on the rear of this fairly innocuous building. The thing that drew me to this building, of all things, are small yellow signs by the doors indicating that this building would serve as a nuclear fallout shelter.
Located in Monterey, Virginia, the Highland County Courthouse was built in 1948, as mentioned in a regional news article. During the Highland Maple Festival, its grounds are the location for numerous vendors' tents that attract many visitors. In this shot, the tents are located out of view behind and to the right of where I was standing. While there, I bought some maple syrup from one of the county's syrup makers.

The United States Courthouse in downtown Kansas City. I was coming back from a photo walk of the downtown area when I noticed the sun rising on the Western side of the structure. This is part of a two day entry this week. This image is the front of the building. Tomorrow I will give you a glimpse of the back.

The Old Courthouse (officially called the Old St. Louis County Courthouse) was built as a combination federal and state courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Missouri's tallest habitable building from 1864 to 1894, it is now part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and operated by the National Park Service used for historical exhibits and events. The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s.

The old county courthouse in Georgetown, Texas, with Christmas decorations Adorning it and the town square. Georgetown is the county seat of Williamson County, and sits near the geographic center of the county. Its population is about 20% of the largest town, which would be round Rock (pop. around 120,000). In spite of the small population it is a thriving town, and growing rapidly (as people flee the high cost of living in Austin).
