Default Courthouse Cupola

Went to a concert in the local Courthouse Square. I've always been fascinated by the Courthouse itself, built in the late 1800s. Forget the band shots. These are the shots I really liked.

Wide view

Eagle

Flag still

Eagle Alone

that last shot is cool. It is amazing what we have managed to build over the years. Some of our national architecture is rather exquisite

Thanks, that's why I did it last. Yeah, there are some amazing structures in our country. I'm going back in the early morn some time soon to shoot the entire square. There are several fountains. It's a pretty cool place.

It's also one of my favorites. BTW, all of these shots 1, 2, and 3 are uncropped and what was composed in the camera. Shot 4 was cropped for a 4:5 ratio for an 8x10 print.
