I took my first year photography students to the court house today and when I had a spare moment, I took a few photos standing in the central hall.
I found interesting symmetry in this space and there was also plenty of color, especially in the glass ceiling. But ultimately, I decided that black and white helps you see the structure and texture of this amazing place in a way that the color version doesn’t.

Great shot Scott. I love the architectural symmetry shown in your photo. Reminds me of one I took in Cologne, Germany. http://jimklinger.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/october-15-2012-peering-upward-in-the-cologne-cathedral/
