Learning a bit about my new town is a big part of a personal photography project I am undertaking. My plan is to photograph buildings and/or areas in Prescott, a town with a rich and interesting history. I have been taking photos since I moved here, but now I am doing it with the intention of making a collection, eventually a gallery slideshow on my blog.
Yesterday, I chose to photograph the courthouse with a view of the Thumb Butte behind it. I took the photo on a hill (which I’ve read is called Nob Hill) standing just down from the Goldwater House.
I considered Photoshopping the wires out, but decided against it for the sake of authenticity- but may reconsider. There are wires obstructing almost every view in this town- perhaps they add to the character!
And below is the Goldwater House, built by Henry Goldwater (uncle to Barry) in 1894. 
Linking up with Friday Finds.

Wow what a view in first pictures, gorgeous mountains. You have so much to explore in your new town. Have a great weekend!
How grand that you are now just an hour from me, we really should met up and even if it is just for coffee and a tour around town. I love going to downtown Prescott. Such a lovely little downtown area. You have captured the area beautifully, can’t wait to see more of this from you.
What an awesome view of the courthouse and Thumb Butte!! I’ve never seen anyone do this particular composition!! Well done!!
Impressive shots and even more impressive is your plan to create a Prescott Collection. Excellent idea! And I think you’re right about the wires. If it were just one, then m aybe get rid of it but with so many and telephone poles as well, they’re and integral part of the scene.
