My husband is a structural engineer, which means I take a lot of pictures of buildings. Some he has worked on, some he hasn’t. This picture is the Scott Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City. This is a building that my husband worked on. I really lucked out when taking this picture. The sky and sun both cooperated. Weather can wreck havoc when you have to take pictures of buildings, especially large buildings, like courthouses or capitol buildings. Civic buildings are usually interesting and beautiful pieces of architecture, designed to add to a cityscape, so they can be fun to photograph.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE OR…) OF CIVIC BUILDINGS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography. Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Hello Nancy,
I’m popping around the blogs I follow in order to experience her challenges.
This is my entry for yours. Thank you for hosting.
Your courthouse building you’ve posted is wonderful. I like the design.

Yes, it really is a beautiful building. Thanks! I really like your entries, too. 🙂
Since a young girl I have loved buildings…!
I’m attracted by old and new ones , either majestic or very tiny….
Your photo fascinates me , both for perspective and colours , I’ll see in my gallery and post some photos for the challenge , too!
This is so picture perfect. Beautiful building, Nancy. 🙂
Very beautiful building Nancy. Excellent shot.
Thanks, Indira!
I think your building is the size of our entire town.
It’s pretty big. It is the main courthouse for all of Utah.
Hi Nancy, here is my entry:
Wow! I didn’t realize that there was a courthouse for all of Utah. It is a very beautiful building.

It’s the main courthouse, but not the only one. Most cities and counties also have courthouses.
Thanks, this challenge took me down memory lane:))
