This is one of my holdover images from Project Black. I took this in Marietta, Ohio which is just across the river here from Parkersburg. Marietta is said to be the first 'permanent' settlement of the Northwest Territory. It was founded in 1788 by a Revolutionary War general.
This photo is of the city's local courthouse. The building was built in 1902. The tower rises 158 feet and the bell inside weighs 3,000 pounds.
I thought this photo might be fitting because today it is 'time' to celebrate post number 200!!!
Take TIME to make it a great day!

Congratulations on your 200th bloggerversary! Well and awesomely done. Beautitful clock and clock tower. I look forward to the next 200 posts and all those that follow them.
Hey cool! I just hit number 200 a few days ago. I'm glad I've been along the ride for a good portion of those 200. :)
200! Congratulations. I hope the next 200 are as fresh and exciting -- and the next 200 after that, and the next 200 after that, and the next 200 after that, and ... you get the idea.
This clock tower is gorgeous. It would have made a lovely Project Black display, but you're right, it was perfect for this announcement.
Hello! Just stopping by to say thanks for commenting on my Ruby Tuesday blog! I'm very glad you liked it. :)
Have a wonderful week!

They just don't make buildings like that any more.
You must have been asleep yesterday when you looked at my blog because the header was there. :>)
Congratulations to you and to Chuck in Seattle -- both 200 posts.
I like your clock photo and bell tower. It reminds me of the one in Greenville, Ohio.
Carletta: Cool post and music, you tie them in so well.
Happy 200! Congrats
Just dropping by to say hi. Nice pics =)
Cheers,

That is so pretty! And happy anniversary ;)
Congrats on 200! I read your title and started singing the song you had chosen...annndd...I didn't have the volume on. It's a little game I play when I come to your blog, thanks for the fun ;) Looking forward to 200 more!
That second one would make a good Skywatch Friday Shot! It starts today!
Yes, that would have been perfect for project black.
Congratulations on your 200th post! And may there be many many more to come :o)
Hmmm... I had to go look... I hit 200 yesterday. Love the close-up... lunch time is one of my favorites! ;-)
Here's to the next 200!
Beautiful! And Congrats on 200!!
Keep these lovely shots coming!!
Funny for me to hear that "everybody else does blogging". Here in Austria it is not yet not very popular. BUT I LOVE IT! ;)
Like your title. I seem to be into clocks lately.
