Santa Barbara County Courthouse

Tee Why

Went to Santa Barbara last weekend with the group and stopped by the County court house. It was built in 1929 in a Spanish style with lots of interesting architecture.
The first shot is just to give you sense of the place, taken at a different time. All the others are from the weekend.

Probably the best looking courthouse I've been to. Nice job capturing the feel of the place.

Thanks, yea, you look at the place and it's amazing that they are still using it as actual courts and such. I hear there is even a jail ward.

I enjoy your architecture series. I am not so good at doing architecture.

Thank you guys.
tisun, if you aren't good at architecture, go out and keep shooting. Thankfully, the subject is real patient and doesn't mind if you take your time.
