Self-Portrait Tuesday II

I debated over which landmark to use for my self-portrait today. I wondered about using the Colorado State Capitol in Denver, or the Platte River that runs against the edge of town but instead I ended up going with this option.


This is the City Hall and the old courthouse in town. It is an old red brick building with these great pillars in front.


There are newer buildings the city now uses for most of their city offices and courthouse but I love the nostalgia of this great brick building and and the white pillars!!!


Here's a shot of the city hall from the front. It's a great old building and landmark in my little town.

That building is really cool. I LOVE big white pillars. Denver isn't small is it? I guess you could have taken a shot at the Ramsey's house huh?

Jenny,
Denver is not small, but Brighton is. Yeah, I should'a driven to Boulder to take a pic of the Ramsey's!! That would've been a good place or maybe even Columbine since it's famous. But they are both famous in a sad way!!

Hey, I saw your comment on Annes blog and came over to check you out. I love that you have lost so much weight. You are my new hero. I have needed to loose weight for sometimes, but I hurt my leg and I have been unmotivated since. You have given me a little motivation and I feel I can do this.
