Shooting the Hancock County Courthouse

Garner is the county seat of Hancock County and this is their courthouse. Located on the main north-south street through town, it was easy to find.

As we were passing through town, we got to see a few interesting sights. One of the more entertaining was a pair of boys and their dogs on the ice crusted snow. The boys were sliding around and stomping on the ice. One of the dogs would take a cautious step or two, slip a bit, regain his balance, and pause before moving again. The other dog just kept his feet in place, watching the others slip and slide, tail wagging to match the energy of the boys. It was a nice after-storm scene.

The other scene was also aftermath of the storm: the cleanup. Apparently, Garner policy is to move all the snow downtown to the middle of the street where it can be loaded onto trucks to be hauled to the snow pile. As we waited for the loading process to finish, I took this shot. As the truck pulled away, another just like it pulled up just outside my window; time to go!
