Old Courthouse, Broadway, Winter Night

.
I was standing at the top of these stairs between the center pillars when I took the photo in yesterday's post. The Old Courthouse, the former home of federal courts in St. Louis for many decades, has been the subject of several posts on this blog. There is some information about the history of the building in my post of June 17, 2007.

WHAT ST. LOUISANS DID YESTERDAY:
turned into weather weenies when we had our coldest day so far this winter. The low was about 1 F./-17 C with a high of 10 F./-12 C. It was bright and sunny. Chicagoans would laugh at us, Minneapolitans look down at us with contempt, and Edmontonians, in the words of John Cleese in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, would fart in out general direction. Except that up there in northern Alberta, such material would instantly freeze and fall to the ground.
Buck up, St. Louis.

TOMORROW:
I thought it looked like a little model of a nuclear power plant in Saudi Arabia.

Weather weenies? Oh it went to 11F here last night. You can just imagine how Alabamians react!!!

I like this one. I suspect you have captured just what the lighting designer set out to effect.
