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).
I've been gone for way too long. The rigors of work and school just started to get to me beginning this fall and that led to me not picking up the camera much at all. Flickr can be a lot of work, and I need to do some catching up on all of your photostreams. I'll be around. I promise.
A couple of weeks ago we took at trip to Arizona. It was my first time there since I was a kid. I forgot how hard it can be to know when and where to go to get good images. I got lucky on our last day. We drove to Sedona and hung out all day. As the sun was setting we stopped of to snap off some shots of Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. It's hard to take bad pictures of these. They're amazing! This was my favorite shot from that day and probably the whole trip.
Here's to finding inspiration and to realizing that there are more important things in life than work.
Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse
Long Beach, CA
08-18-19
The courthouse in Long Beach used to be the ugliest public building in town. Followed by City Hall. Thankfully, both have been replaced by beautiful big glass structures, all reflective and gleaming, shiny and new.
The new courthouse opened in 2013. The new City Hall opened this past month and is located where the old courthouse used to stand. The old City Hall will soon be demolished and a 36 story residential tower built in it's place.
Mixing it up a bit so as not to bore you with too many grain elevators. On last weekend's road trip, I also was on the hunt for historic county courthouses. I found this old beauty in Beatrice, Nebraska. Built in 1890-92, the Gage County Courthouse is an outstanding example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Fresno County's first permanent courthouse 1866-1874. It was moved uphill from the submerged town of Millerton for preservation prior to the flooding of the very bottom of the San Joaquin River Gorge below for a reservoir.
I wonder why I landed first at the Courthouse the Town and it's Habitantes sure have a history of being a bit of a volatile place and bunch
Local writer Ronald Hugh Morrieson presented a dark, seamy version of mid-20th-century Hāwera in his novels. Many locals found his descriptions offensive. An attempt by fans to save his house from demolition in 1992 failed, partly because of this. It is now the site of a KFC restaurant.

1908 Grayson Courthouse
Independence, Virginia
Built in 1908 to replace an 1850 courthouse, this building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 (78003019) as Grayson County Courthouse. Supporting NPS materials available on line state that no architectural style was specified; however, the Historic 1908 Courthouse Foundation says, "The 1908 Courthouse is an example of the Richardsonian style of architecture common to public buildings built between 1865 and 1915. This building has many of the characteristics of this style: the imposing size of the structure; the massiveness that stamps it as a government building; its round Flemish arches repeated with square-sectioned openings, and its stone and brick construction." The same source also notes that the Confederate monument was added in 1911, that county offices moved to new quarters in the late 1970s, and the old courthouse now serves as the Art & Cultural Center of Grayson County, including a museum, an auditorium, and a gift shop.
Grayson County had a population of 15,553 at the 2010 census while that of Independence was a bit shy of 1,000. The county is the site of Mt. Rogers (Virginia's highest point, at 5,729 feet) and Grayson Highlands State Park, among other attractions.

After snapping some sunrise shots focused on the large stone structures, I started to look for other shots that focused more on the smaller landscape elements that are all around you in this area as you hike in the Courthouse Tower area at Arches National Park. I liked the large stone structure and the bush in this area, so framed the shot catching the larger sunlit formations beyond. Looking at this just makes me want to go back there again soon.
I liked the way the brightly lit leaves framed the shaped of the waterfall and how it contrasted with the lower, darker portion of the frame...

Kings County Courthouse in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Built in 1887 by noted architect William Critchlow Harris.
The city’s first courthouse in the block bounded by N. 4th, Chestnut, N. Broadway and Market streets was completed in 1828 and has undergone several demolitions and reconstructions. It was the city’s tallest building from 1864 to 1894. Henry Singleton and Robert S. Mitchell were the architects for the 1839 and 1851 renovations, respectively. William Rumbold was the architect for the dome construction, completed in 1862 Ironically, slave auctions were held on the Courthouse steps, mostly to settle probate claims, while others took their slaves here to obtain their legal freedom.
The Old Courthouse is famous for the site of cases involving Dred and Harriet Scott’s bids for freedom, beginning in 1846. After rulings that the Scotts should be free, the case moved to the federal court and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court, at which the decision affirmed lower court decisions reversing the verdict of freedom for the Scotts in 1857.

McLennan County Courthouse, Waco Texas, located on the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas, was created by the Texas Legislature in 1850 out of Milam County. The county seat, Waco, had been founded originally as an outpost of the Texas Rangers, laid out by George B. Erath, and was known by 1850 as "Waco Village." According to local lore, the first sustained flight did not occur in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but just outside Tokio (a small community in McLennan County) by a man flying a gyrocopter. During World War I, McLennan County was home to at least one military airfield, Rich Field. In 1886, Baylor University relocated from Independence, Texas, to Waco absorbing Waco University. During the early 20th century, McLennan County was home to as many as five colleges; in addition to Baylor, the other colleges included the predecessor to what is now known as Texas Christian University (now in Fort Worth), Paul Quinn College (relocated since to Dallas), and two other short-lived colleges. In the 1960s, the Texas Legislature created the first community college to use those words in the name, McLennan Community College. Around the same time, what is now the flagship institution of Texas State Technical College was founded as James Connally Technical Institute, as a member of the Texas A&M University System. Today, Baylor, McLennan Community College, and Texas State Technical College remain in McLennan County and absorb a large portion of the college-bound high school graduates from the County and the surrounding areas.
The courthouse was built in 1877 and reportedly had an ornate walnut staircase which is way long gone. Check mathteacher's photostream for a view of the inside as it is now. Frio was considered a "cowboy capital" and outpost cultural center during the 1870's. After the town picked up all the buildings but the courthouse and the jail and moved to Pearsall where the railroad was, this courthouse was purchased by W. Yancey Kilgore and it subsequently housed a general store, the post office and in 1884 Frio Acadmey. What a shame indeed to see this fall into decay. 4 photos in this series
