The reason for our trip downtown on Wednesday was to check out the just-reopened Old Courthouse, one of our most significant buildings. It was built in stages when St. Louis boomed in the second quarter of the 19th Century and is now part of the national park that includes the Gateway Arch. One of the most significant trials in the country’s history, the Dred Scott case, defining the rights of black people and leading to one of the most appalling decisions in the history of our Supreme Court (well, there are competitors). I won’t write an essay about its history, but, if interested, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Courthouse_(St._Louis) .

A little too much wide-angle here for my liking. Try shooting it as a panorama next time. With a fifty mm lens, or maybe an 85mm lens.
Gran edificio con mucha historia. Me gusta su bonita arquitectura.
Que tengas un buen fin de semana.
