This courthouse sets in the middle of what is claimed to be the largest town square in the World. You can read all about this historic town in Iowa here. I was in this town today watching my grandson play in a basketball tournament.
This was taken with the Canon PowerShot A3100 12.1 megapixels camera. It fits easily into the pocket. In the editing room (CS5) I used the unsharp filter, levels and curves to enhance the scene. I cropped in Photoscape and resized and added a little contrast in Photofiltre. The last two programs are free. I hope you enjoy this little bit of history from the USA.

Nothing like a small Midwest town with a town square, and a bandstand! Great looking shot with the PowerShot, Tick.

Enjoyed this shot. We lost our snow the other day. It was 50 F one day. Only got up to 40 F today. I'm sure we will have another good round of snow, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

I love historical old towns like this. This is a beautiful old courthouse and the big gazeebo adds a great touch. Well composed and captured Tick.

Good capture, even to the falling snowflakes, bland sky, but that is to be expected on a day like this!...

Beautiful shot, very impressive. I am not much about courts and courthouses. LOL But I love buildings and architecture like this, really wonderful.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
An impressive scene Tick. The photo looks great, the colours and clarity are very good.

There really is a Centerville and not just in fiction. It seems the population density has decreased some in the last year. Only 5000 residents, but the biggest known town square. It definitley looks like Winter with the snow falling and the gray sky overhead.

Tick - A very fine winter shot of this early 1900's courthouse. I hope your grandson fared well in his tournament. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
What kind of message is the judiciary system sending out to the people when the courthouse is pointing cannons at them? A great Americana shot, Tick. Good composition of the photo. I like the snow falling on the scene.

Very nice Tick, the snow flakes adds even more to this image.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
TicK....You get an A+ for the narrative and the same for the shot. I use the next to free version of PhotoFiltre and use Photoscape only for certain commands. It irritates me to no end that PhotoFiltre is spelled ending in "re", but that's because it's made by some socialist, commie regime in Europe.
A beauty of a shot of wintertime Americana, but I've seen bigger town squares. On my screen the square is only slightly over a foot across.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
Nice comp and a fine old building Tick. The snow suits the scene :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Lovely looking courthouse & thanks for the link. I see it's snowing lightly

Impressive building indeed. Although I am a bit concerned about the cannon outside. If your found guilty do they fire you off to the jailhouse?
