This morning, on the way from Heather's house, to the graduation ceremony, Emily led us on a shortcut through the capitol building - there was no real reason to walk around, was there? I don't think I'd ever been inside, so I took a quick few pictures.

This is looking up at the inside of the dome. This dome is (purposely) only a few feet shorter than the one on the U.S. capitol building.


This is a slightly closer view of the painting in the top of the dome. Believe it or not, the surface this painting is on is nearly hemispherical.


Taken from the same spot, looking at the East Gallery.


Looking Westward, on our way out.

That's some fancy igloo on the inside.

He heh! Did you follow the link and see the outside? It does look like an igloo. With a gold statue on top.

I always get a little dizzy when I looked up at the dome. Sue, my best friend and I, used to fool around in the capitol all the time. We broke into the supreme court room when it was closed once and played judges. Cracked ourselves up and never got caught.
You should see the little museum they have. It's interesting.

I didn't get dizzy. I only looked long enough to aim the camera.

That's really cool.

I'd like to go back and get the tour.

Thanks for the pictures. I haven't been inside the capitol for years--decades, maybe. While looking at the first two I imagined myself standing there, looking. I knew how dizzy I would be in real life, so this was better.

Btw, Happy Birthday!!!! I'll see you this afternoon.
