Old Glynn County Courthouse
Brunswick, Georgia, USA

The columns and doors are huge.

Side view of the front.

Side window and light.

Around to the back.
Across the courtyard,
under the shade trees

You will find the
New Glynn County Courthouse.
(This is where you go for Jury Duty)

And we're done!
Back to the truck to go home.
GRAND~Girls wanted to wait on
the ice cream truck
back in the hood.

Another Day,
Another adventure.
Over in Darien the old ice house.
This is the front on the street side.

What a super duper shoot. I loved the tour, and I am going back for another looksee. The old ice house is a clear winner but the courthouse is magnificent. I love the old trees, too.

Thanks you for taking us on a tour of your town.

Love the shutters! Great photos! I am a sucker as I said on another site for columns...not sure why, but I could write a poem about them :)

I am excited about the garden theme, just the right time of the year...

nice to meet you, as I am a southern girl, and you must be in the south...

GingerV said...

gor a minute I was lost - I hit comments for the prior blog....
I love the old courthouse - what is it used for now? and gray brick I don't think I have ever seen such a large building built of such small brick. and the front pillars what are they made of - even enlarging I couldn't tell.

Elizabeth said...

Gigi I loved those last pics with the shutters and all that..I so would love to get into photography(what kind and how much was your camera?) if you don't mind me asking. And just maybe I'll post some pics next friday of some of my flowers..GOOD JOB on all of yours.

Just getting around to the Friday photo project.

Great photos. Taught school in Hilton Head just a few years ago and can remember the Spanish moss and the overall atmosphere. Like in Charleston and Savannah.
