It's a magnificent looking building, seen at its best with that blue sky and white clouds!
ReplyDeleteUniquely H'burg. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it and your top commentor is right beautiful with the white clouds and blue skies. Hug B
ReplyDeleteIs this the same rock all over the VA Tech campus? Looks it. Fine angled image of the courthouse.
ReplyDeletevt uses limestone...they look very similar and i don't know what the differences are...vt has their own quarry https://www.vt.edu/about/traditions/hokie-stone.html
DeleteAn old-fashioned and impressive building!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous building. So many of these old courthouses have been torn down - like here in Ocala. Which is a shame. There's a beauty still standing near us in Inverness, Florida, though.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the drama that goes on in them it's amazing how attractive a lot of old courthouses are Tanya, ours here is lovely too. Not that I'm complaining :)
