Here's one that I took on election night last November. I walked up to the courthouse and it was all aglow with lights until after midnight. Everything was steamy (both temp-wise and emotionally) inside so I just took my time in the cool night and took pictures. It was so peaceful out on the sidewalks. This is an old Gothic-style building, reminiscent of the Old South. I love its southern atmosphere, the marble floors and walls, and the wide open staircase that leads to the church-style courtroom upstairs.
Here on the steps of this courthouse we as a community joined hands in prayer every single night last year from April 9, when Tommy Hammill, our neighbor and friend, was captured in Iraq, until the middle of July, long after he returned. It will always be hallowed ground to me where we scarcely dare to walk without taking off our shoes.
