This was taken in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 2016 before I retired. I was there for a meeting and didn't have much as time to take photos as I would have liked. They have added to the courtyard since I was there. Hopefully, I can return someday. The dungeon was closed the day I was there. You can read more about the courthouse here and here.

The Courthouse was used in the movie Gone Girl. You can see more about it here.

Tick, I will have to plead guilty, guilty in liking this picture a bunch. That sunset creating wonderful shadows, the composition going from light to dark, the beautiful sky, all add up to the cause of my plea.

That building and the green surroundings and the lighting make this beautiful and well taken photo Tick.

I like the upward angle of the shot Tick - the courthouse seems very important.

Comforting for those seeking justice and terrifying for those caught committing injustices! The color in the sky is very beautiful and the sun is peaking through just enough to add extra interest to the capture. Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), I read that this courthouse already was built in 1854 in the Federal style.
As far I can judge by your good and interesting capture, it's in a perfect condition.
The perfect lighting and well chosen composition make this post to a special one.
Therefore it's S+F by me.
Thanks, 👍!

Really nice work on the courthouse Tick - the angle enhances the beautiful architecture of the building - also like how the golfer avatar was placed in the base of the lantern on the right - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!
