Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President of the United States. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, and the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois was admitted to the United States in 1818. Built in the architectural styles of the French Renaissance and Italianate, it was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago. Ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4.5 million.
The building contains the chambers for the Illinois General Assembly, which is made up of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. An office for the Governor of Illinois, additional offices, and committee rooms are also in the building. The capitol's footprint is cross-shaped, with four equal wings. Its tall central dome and tower roofs are covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which does not weather. Architecture scholar Jean A. Follett describes it as a building that "is monumental in scale and rich in detail." The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois history, and stained glass windows, including a stained glass replica of the state seal in the oculus of the dome.
Springfield Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Circular-style church built about 1970. Congregation organized in 1956. 5407 Backlick Road.

Retomando a ordem cronológica e normalmente atrasada desta Galeria.... Foto de Setembro! :-P
Este lindÃssimo Springfield serviu de base para uma combinação a postar em breve e ao princÃpio nem havia a intenção de o mostrar por aqui ( somente numa foto de comentários ), mas ele merece o destaque: cobriu com UMA só camada e ainda secou assim fantasticamente brilhoso e em tempo recorde!
Por isso digam lá que ele não tinha o direito à "distinção" ?
E além disso... que tom maravilhoso! Amei! <3 <3 <3

Built in 1974, this Modern International-style building was designed by Architectural and Mechanical Systems Corporation to serve as a modern hotel for downtown Springfield, originally being known as the Forum 30 Plaza Hotel, later being known as the Hilton Towers Hotel in the 1980s, the Springfield Hilton Hotel starting in the 1990s, and in 2015, the Wyndham Springfield City Centre. It is the tallest building in Springfield, standing 352 feet (107 meters) and 30 floors tall, but sits on much lower ground than the Illinois State Capitol, allowing the dome of the Capitol to remain dominant on the city’s skyline. The building has a dodecagon-shaped tower with travertine at the corners and crown, flanking the glass curtain walls, a crown that tapers outwards towards the 30th floor and inwards towards the roof, and a two-story C-shaped podium surrounding a central automobile entrance court. The building today remains in use as a hotel, and is a dominant feature of the skyline of Springfield.
