Taken from the end of Knowles Way Rd looking generally towards Galilee RI. Some manipulation in PS elements to darken highlights to take the flare out of the sun and increased the contrast to bring out the colors better.
Rhode Island's "new" state capitol, completed in 1904.
Fun facts about the building:
Fourth-largest self-supporting marble dome in the whole wide world. (Top three: St. Peter's Basilica, Minnesota state capitol, Taj Mahal. I've been to all of those.)
In the filming of the movie Amistad, the Rhode Island statehouse filled in for the U.S. Capitol. (It's the background of a scene where Morgan Freeman visits J.Q. Adams in Washington, DC in the movie. My previous post -- Old Connecticut state capitol -- is where the Amistad trials began in 1839.)
On the upper levels of this building, there are four distinct areas: House chamber, Senate chamber, former Governor's greeting room (not its official name), and a photogenic law library -- all pictured here.
Also on site, an original charter from the British crown (King Charles II, 1663) is in a museum downstairs. A few cannon on site (not presented here), and other interesting artifacts in the museum.
This is a wonderful building to tour, and Providence is, over all, a darn good town, albeit pricey.

Taking a road trip from the cottages I explored Jamestown and Point Judith. Finding their lighthouses and exploring the area around them. I loved all the sea cliff walls and trails available at both. The park at Beavertail is not to be missed nor is the Fisherman Memorial next to Point Judith Lighthouse.
The Rhode Island Red is an American breed of domestic chicken. It was developed in the late nineteenth century in Massachusetts and Rhode Island by cross-breeding birds of Oriental origin such as the Malay with brown Leghorn birds from Italy.
This birds are totally free range. They have a huge paddock to roam in on their farm, and even have a Maremma as a bodyguard against foxes!
