Howard H. Baker Jr, Federal Courthouse (Knoxville, TN)

Posted on August 28, 2014

It’s Friday! And…it’s a holiday weekend to boot. Whoo-hoo! I am so looking forward to a little relaxing with my DH. I wonder what we can get ourselves into this long weekend? Hmmm, I’ll have to ponder on those thoughts for a moment. Meanwhile, it’s time to visit fellow shutterbug enthusiasts around the globe for Skywatch Friday.

I know this building by Whittle Communications in downtown Knoxville. Today, it’s called the Howard H. Baker, Jr. Federal Courthouse. I love the feel of the architecture with the clock tower and all. It’s not an old building. In fact, it was built in the mid-80s by publishing mogul Chris Whittle. I was not only drawn to the building but how gorgeous the sky appeared behind it. I couldn’t help, but think this is my SWF photo! 😀

 

My photo contribution for The weekend in Black and White.
From my vantage point in shooting the Spanish War Veteran Statue situated on the grounds of the old courthouse, I noticed the First Tennessee bank building captures the BB&T reflection that sits next door. This makes it a perfect candidate for Weekend Reflections.

Before you go, you may want to link your photographic wonder to this week’s WW linkup party, here. Thank you for making me apart of your day.  Please leave your comments footprints so that I know you came and I will hop over to your place soon. Have a foto-tastic day!
