Cincinnati Observatory  by cdonohoue

Cincinnati Observatory

I needed to take the camera and get out of the house today. So I went to the park and shot leaves before they leave for good. But I wanted to share something different and I think sort of unique.

"The Cincinnati Observatory is one of the most unique astronomical institutions in the United States. It is a fully functioning 19th century observatory used daily by the public and amateur astronomers, civic organizations, teachers and students, history buffs and science mavens.
Located atop the rolling hills of Mt. Lookout, the Observatory is home to the world's oldest telescope still in use nightly by the general public. Two handsome National Historic Landmark buildings and the beautiful grounds provide a serene, park-like setting while still being centrally located in the city of Cincinnati." - lifted from their website.
I really like this in b&w. It is a lovely building.
