Eye Chart Test?

This looks somewhat like an eye chart test. I guess that if you can read the word surrounding the star in the middle, you probably have 20/20 vision. Actually, this is a hand-held shot from the floor of the rotunda in the Texas State Capitol building in Austin, Texas. The 4-story building is 308 feet (94 meters) tall. The Texas star in the center of the dome is actually 8 feet in diameter and looms 266 feet above the rotunda floor. If you look closely, you can see an individual between the 1 and 2 o'clock position on the second-floor balcony, and several people at the 9 o'clock position on the third-floor balcony. By the way, the eye chart test answer is "TEXAS" (what else!). If you passed the test, you don't need to eat any carrots today!
