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 Thankfully, both have been replaced by beautiful big glass structures, all reflective and gleaming, shiny and new.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.

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.

Built between 1881 and 1883, this Second Empire and Renaissance Revival-style courthouse was designed by G. H. Maetzel and based on the Licking County Courthouse in Newark, Ohio. The building features a mansard roof, stone exterior, central tower with a hipped roof, clock faces on the dormers, decorative trim including a cornice, doric pilasters, and corbels, and a dome at the top, corner towers with mansard roofs, arched windows, dormers with arched pediments, a rooftop balustrade and acroterions, a cornice with brackets and dentils, quoins at the corners, a rusticated stone base, and projected gabled bays in the center of each facade with statues atop the roofs, three corinthian columns at the corners of the second floor, double arched windows with decorative surrounds, festoons, porticoes at the entrances with doric columns and stone railings, and doors with arched transoms. The square around the courthouse is landscaped with trees, grass, and plantings, and is home to fountains at the corners and several monuments. The courthouse is a contributing structure in the Sidney Courthouse Square Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The Gosper County Courthouse, at 507 Smith Ave. in Elwood, Nebraska, was built in 1939. It was designed by architects McClure & Walker with Art Deco style.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was deemed historically significant for its architecture and for its association with politics and local government; it was one of seven Nebraska courthouses built by New Deal programs.
Built in 1908-09, this charming former courthouse was designed by Wheeler, Runge, & Dickey using Classical Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Second Empire elements. It closely resembles a number of other courthouses around the Tar Heel State, designed using the same firm's blueprints. The structure has since been replaced by the county's newer 2002 facility.
The old Randolph County Courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

I first heard about Sedona over a quarter of a century ago when my great aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary there, but my family was unable to attend the festivities because my lovely wife was just days away from giving birth to our youngest child.
Flash forward 27 years later, and we decided to finally see the town in person -- via a quick, last minute out-of-the-way stop on our drive back home to Los Angeles after a week of visiting family in Albuquerque. In fact, this weekend we also found out after being together over 30 years, that my wife has distant family ties (through marriage) to the town.
It seems Sedona was named for the great-grandmother of one of my wife's aunts, one Sedona Schnebly who hailed originally from the Show Me State of Missouri and was also the burg's first postmistress..
There's even a statue of her in front of the town's library -- but we never saw that.
Thank you for that historical interlude, Cliff Clavin -- and now back to our story.
Thanks to a controlled burn along 1-17 just south of Flagstaff, and the southbound road being shut down to one lane, we almost didn't get there for a sunset at all. But thanks to a fortuitous tip from a friendly and knowledgeable gas station attendant, and a photocopy of the Google map she must give out to idiots like me all day, we took the longer but faster route -- 1-17 south to highway 179, which brought us in the back way through the Village of Oak Creek.
Luckily one of the first scenic view turnoffs we found happened to have amazing views of Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. The sunset was amazing and seemed to go on forever --- I love the last bit of light reflecting off the butte here. And I thought it was over, only to put away the tripod and have the sky blow up even more, as evidenced in the image below.
The only downside was the millions of mosquitoes and the horrible stench coming from the public restrooms, but that was a small price to pay for the light show put on by Mother Nature.
I hope one day to return and stay longer -- just not in the summer. It's hot -- not Phoenix hot, but hot enough. And then there's those pesky mosquitoes.

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.
A blue hour shot of the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore, Illinois.
The above memorial, which was erected in 1896, is inscribed:
DeKalb County. To the memory of the men who fought to preserve the Union. "That the Nation shall under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the Earth".
The DeKalb County Courthouse is located in the county seat of DeKalb County, Illinois, U.S.A., the city of Sycamore. The Classical Revival structure sits on a square facing Illinois Route 64 as it passes through the city. The current courthouse was constructed in 1905 amid controversy over where the courthouse and thus, ultimately, the county seat would be located. The current building is the third structure to bear the name "DeKalb County Courthouse." DeKalb County's Courthouse still serves as the county's primary judicial center and is a contributing property to the Sycamore Historic District. The district joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The architect was Herbert T. Hazelton (Watson & Hazelton).
