I would probably do that: print out the questions so I'd have them with me as a bookmark or some such, then jot the answers on it.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like the picture references, Katie, I'll be out shooting more. I enjoy walking in the steps of the character.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment, Elizabeth. As Dianne mentions, this isn't the view the police have from their east-facing window. To get that shot I had to step off the sidewalk and into the plants. Didn't seem the thing to do at the police station, especially since there were office windows staring at me. I did take a few steps off the sidewalk, but the shot didn't work. You're right, Dianne, it's not pretty from that angle!<BR/><BR/>DR, it may depend on what era the courthouse was built in. <A HREF="http://jainvestigations.com/images/1courthouse.gif" REL="nofollow">Here's the county courthouse</A> where I grew up in Illinois, as an example of something prettier. There are many beautiful government buildings all over the country. I think the older ones are prettiest, but that's my taste.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-74669064687082781272009-01-06T15:47:00.000-08:002009-01-06T15:47:00.000-08:00Great shot Petrea, why are most courthouse buildin...Great shot Petrea, why are most courthouse buildings in the US "unadorned concrete rectangle lined with soulless windows."
