In addition to being a truly stunning building by day, the Medicine Hat courthouse is one of the few structures (in contrast to the Saamis teepee anyway) that actually has an evening lighting scheme. The building is surrounded by numerous spotlights that bathe the brick and stone details of the structure in a warm orange and yellow glow.
If the building didn't standout already, the lights really make the details of the courthouse pop. It especially draws your eye when viewing it from the other side of the South Saskatchewan river. If anything, the nighttime lighting only emphasizes the architectural embellishments that make the courthouse such an iconic local landmark.
This hundred year old church in downtown Medicine Hat, Alberta is a stunning landmark. If I'm not mistaken, Fifth Avenue United has the largest stained glass windows in the city, and they certainly grab your attention when entering the space. Weeks ago I had the opportunity to explore this church, and captured some of the architecture and various other details that have made it such a distinct location in our city's core for over a century now.
