Built in 1932 under the agenda of Gov Huey Long, the Louisiana State Capitol is at 137m and 34 stories tall the tallest capitol in the United States. Symbolizing the end of "political domination of Louisiana's traditional social and economic elite" by Long, the building cost $5 million in the midst of the Great Depression. Only three years after its completion, Long was assassinated in the building over a judicial gerrymandering dispute. The Art Deco piece depicts various aspects of Louisiana state history. The 49 steps of the staircase leading to the front door contains the names of all 50 states in order of admittance. Alaska and Hawaii, admitted after the construction of the building, were added to the top step with "E pluribus unum". Historical Louisiana "Pioneers and Patriots" flank the staircase. At the 21st floor the building shifts from a square to an octagon, topped by the "Temple".

Two local women are waiting for the light so they can cross State Street. This intersection, State Street at Roosevelt Road, is one of Chicago's busiest. This is the east end of the Roosevelt Road Viaduct which spans the former Rock Island, the Chicago River, the Amtrak Yard, and the former Pennsylvania Railroad.
The path they have just walked up is from an underpass that allows pedestrians to safely walk from Dearborn Park to this intersection. Notice the CTA 'L' train that's paused at the Roosevelt Station.

Sittwe, Rakhine State, Myanmar -- Game on. A little holes and pebbles were all they needed for play.
They explained to me what the game was about, but phew, their Rakhine accent was very strong and I didn't quite get it. I looked similar to Owari.

The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house – and opera company – with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper); in 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on May 20, 1863.
