AAARGH! You're killing me here! Killing me! So I tried my new low light solution that I've mentioned, but it was completely messed up by those two giant lightbulbs right there that screw everything up! How am I supposed to get decent photographs that way? I had to fall back to my iDevice! If I … Continue reading 420. Shawneetown, Gallatin County (IL005) →

Nice courthouse, but a little too well lit to attempt my lower light solution. That's OK because this is a regular photo and that's better than bad, but it's also making me wonder what was even the point of finding a work around for light? Everywhere seems to be lit or has enough ambient. Of … Continue reading 419. Morganfield, Union County (KY04) →

Look at you! Absolutely glowing in the middle of the night! Talk about leaving a guy breathless with beauty or some kind of crap like that! I don't know for sure if this is the front face since I didn't actually see a flagpole to make that judgement, but it's the best face I saw … Continue reading 418.

First of all, it doesn't look like the county administration runs out of a courthouse. It looks like the government here is run out of a series of disconnected offices, which is alright from a purely functional perspective. Hadn't run into that since back in New Mexico. The Civic Center here seems the right place … Continue reading 417. Evansville, Vanderburgh County (IN02) →

Oh, Indiana! I've racked my brain and I do not believe that I had ever set foot in Indiana before this day. In fact, when I got here, I struck up a rousing rendition of Back Home In Indiana for myself. I even think I accidentally scared off a homeless person, which makes me a … Continue reading 416.

Alright, this courthouse was a little disappointing. More than a little, actually. It wasn't actually "bad" as I might normally define it. Just incredibly underwhelming, especially after having seen pictures of the older courthouses. Those were absolutely lovely, but this one...? I do, however, feel I should give credit where credit is due: I had … Continue reading 415. Harrisburg, Saline County (IL004) →

This is certainly an acceptable courthouse. Actually, I would even go so far as to way it's a nice looking courthouse. Of course, somewhere like this seems like it would be incredibly boring. I wonder if there's anything around here to liven the place up a bit, maybe make things more interesting? Oh, wait a … Continue reading 414. Metropolis, Massac County (IL003) →

This, dear readers, is a magnificent edifice. THIS is obviously a town of some importance. Or, well, it was a town of some importance. Not that it's not important now, but I get the feeling that its not in the big leagues anymore, not even with the National Quilt Museum or the Paducah Beer Werks. … Continue reading 413. Paducah, McCracken County (KY02) →

Oh, Kentucky! This courthouse is quite nice. It could use a little bit of paint and some tender loving care, but I very much approve. I imagine that the farther east I get with this, the more courthouses will look like this or something similar. Or is it more southern? I don't know. That's a … Continue reading 412.

Pulaski County? Wasn't I just here? I appreciate the building, but this is just really tiny in a really tiny town. The thing I don't understand is that there is a nearby town called Mounds here in the same county. That makes no sense. Mounds and Mounds City? What is this? A Pawnee/Eagleton thing or … Continue reading 411. Mound City, Pulaski County (IL002) →
