Description
During the Texas Summer months I usually lay low regarding my photography pursuits, as it gets very, very hot down here. Heat indexes in the low 100's are not uncommon for 3 months in a row, so I either wait until October to resume this passion of mine or I take a 5-day trip to another state. In this case, however, I recently became interested in photographing historic buildings and landmarks, as there are few in Houston remaining. I just couldn't wait until October!
This architectural beauty is the Gonzales County Courthouse, located in the county seat of Gonzales, TX. It was designed by a Riely Gordon in 1895, using red bricks from the St. Louis, MO area and white limestone from a local quarry. I just love all the arches and turrets!
Thanks for looking!
