Not Quite The 12 Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus*

(*Editor's note:  okay, not even close)

Presented with a parabolic mirror at the Evansville hands-on science museum, TSG was inspired to attempt something kinda-sorta resembling the cover of Spirit's classic 1970 album, Needless to say, we failed miserably, but the resulting image is still marginally interesting. Say cheese!

The Old Vandenburgh County Courthouse / Evansville IN

From the website:

The Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse is considered by architectural historians to be one of the most important examples of 19th century governmental architecture in the country. It was designed by Henry Wolters of Louisville, Kentucky and exemplifies Beaux Arts architecture, which was just coming into vogue at the time of the Courthouse’s design, replacing heavier Victorian styles.Wolters himself studied at the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris. It occupies a full city block bound by Fourth, Vine, Fifth and Court streets in Downtown Evansville, which was once a turnaround basin for the Wabash and Erie Canal.
