Columbus Ohio

We had most of an evening to kill, and I had a belly full of food that I wanted to walk off, so we drove to downtown Columbus with our cameras.

There was a parking garage under the state capitol building, and we came out next to the building, overlooking a park and this statue, among others. It's the back of the Ohio World War Memorial.

And there was this really great building that you can see in the background, and the light was fading, so we decided to see if there was a good view of it on the west side, in the light of the sunset.

Just to the west of the tower was Columbus City Hall.



In front of it was a... what's the word... an area with a fountain and a statue and marble steps and such.


Cyn stands in front of the statue of whoever it was they named the city after. I think his first name was Gopher. He's a big guy, though - not at all like the rodent. I mean, this is just his foot!

And here he is standing next to the tower.

I told you he was big!

The south side of the Ohio Statehouse features this bronze and stainless steel sculpture. It's the Ohio Holocaust and Liberators Memorial.
