The Nassau County (Florida) Courthouse, our own clock tower.
The Nassau County Courthouse, also known as the Old Nassau County Courthouse and the Historic Nassau County Courthouse, is a historic two-story red brick courthouse located at 416 Centre Street in Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, Florida. Designed in the Classical Revival style, it was built in 1891 and features cast-iron Corinthian columns, a massive bell tower, and a steeple. Meneely and Co. of West Troy, New York, cast the bell for the tower, which was used as a fire alarm for many years.

I enjoy photographing ghost signs, and my adopted hometown has plenty to see. Here are a couple of images taken about thirteen years apart. It appears to be fading faster now in the intense Florida sunlight.

After the prolonged heat and humidity of our Florida summer, a break in the weather sent me on a photo walk in the downtown historic district of Fernandina Beach, Florida (Amelia Island). I chose my Canon EOS R with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, and the Canon EF-RF adapter. I don’t use post-processing except for an occasional crop, as I like to see my digital images as they would have been if I had been shooting with film.
