Time Is On My Side


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!

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.

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.

That second one would make a good Skywatch Friday Shot! It starts today!

Ivanhoe said...

Yes, that would have been perfect for project black.

Funny for me to hear that "everybody else does blogging". Here in Austria it is not yet not very popular. BUT I LOVE IT! ;)
