This building was built back in the early to mid 1860's on Rock Island and is home to the Corps of Engineers now. The archway in the center of the building was once open and used to drive horse & buggys through. On the face of the clock you will see small round openings which are actually small porthole windows. To see a photo gallery and brochure on this building use this LINK.

Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to the Emerald City and OZ A very nice place to repose. Trust me on this one, I live there. :-)................ MY GALLERY - THE LION****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOMEPAGE
It is a lovely building and a great pic of it. The only problem I have is the white sky. Maybe you can go there again, with the sun in your back? Would be a 10/10 pic, I am sure, so It is only 7 or 8.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Come Inside.
Yes I agree Sabine! No sun to speak of that day however. Maybe someday I'll get a second chance at it! C):-)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
I love that clock with the four stars on it. Can you go up the tower and look out from up there as the pictures show a view from the window? The colors here are very deep and clear, especially that red auto and the green trees. Nice clear shot of this building. That seems rather modern looking for 1860s, but it looks like it was built to last.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I agree with Cindy that the colors are deep and true, and now fess up, Sheriff...you know how to put a deeper blue sky up there :) If not, you know where I am ::LOL:: Thanks for the link to the web site.

"You may forget.
But let me tell you this:

will think of us."
Looks to be a lot of history here, and the building is great looking! Great job!

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
It almost looks like the one from Back to the Future! Lol.
