I posted a pic. of this earlier, but I think I did a little better job on this one. I brought the tripod with me this time. lol This tower is on top of the old Minnehaha County Courthouse which has now been turned into a museum. It has a grand ballroom in it also which can be rented out for weddings and other occasions. Some day I will go in and get some pics. of the interior to post also. Thanks for your comments and views!

The clock bells ring once for every hour (12 o'clock; 12 rings, etc.) on the hour.

Clarity is great here, Dan...good use of tripod :) I love the green glow on the side..provides a seasonal view to compliment all the rich colors in the stone. Would love to see the views on the inside :)PJ

Well, the tower is well lit. I like the shadows on the roof. You take great night photos.

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. - Hermes

I'd like to dance in that ballroom! Great shot of the tower again. I think the tripod helped improve it a little.
