HWW!!
The Texas State Capitol. I was downtown with a friend and while we were walking around, I spotted this view of the Capitol with the clouds floating over it. Some days we just get lucky..:)
Each spring the cherry blossoms provide beautiful color to the Utah State Capitol grounds.
I posted a similar view before, but this one I like with the steps leading up to the building.
Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Trying out a new toy in my Gobe 10 stop variable ND filter. Allows for those sweet 30 second exposures before the sun completely goes down!

This is an HDR merge of a few shots taken from the Washington Monument on Easter morning. In spite of the complete dysfunction inside the structure, it's still quite majestic. I'm hoping for a change in leadership in 2018.
The title gives it away... Amtrak train 442, the dome-equipped Capitol Limited, pulls out of Cumberland MD on 6 August 1986 with F40PH No. 377 in the lead, poised to take the B&O passenger heritage consist up over Sand Patch grade.
Caught the full moon rising behind the Capitol dome after leaving my Washington Monument sunset shoot! Two great astronomical events within hours! I shot this as an HDR to get surface detail in the moon.
This gateway leads into the Capitol Gorge area of Capitol Reef National Park.
As we viewed sheer cliffs in many places on this trip, like the cliff on the left, we wondered what massive force(s) would make an almost perfectly flat slab of vertical rock loosen itself and fall. Just one of the many things that come to mind when beholding such natural marvels.
The term reef in this context had puzzled me because I normally thought of a reef in an aquatic setting. Wikipedia, however, comes to the rescue. In a dry land setting, “… reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.”

The United States Capitol, often called the Capitol Building, is the home of the United States Congress, and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government.
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. This is the Capitol of Texas because I don't have a picture of the White House. The Capitol of Texas building is larger than the White House anyways..But you knew that..lol.

Recently made a short roadtrip to Des Moines. And while I had seen the Capitol from the highway I hadn't been inside. I knew it would be impressive but it's really a huge treat for the eyes. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area!
The back of the United States Capitol faces away from the afternoon sun on a frigid day in Washington, DC.

About Capitol Theatre
The old Capitol Theatre has just reopened, after a billion-dollar facelift. Along with a retail mall, the development will also include residences and a hotel.
Capitol Theatre, later known as Capitol Cinema, located at the junction of Stamford Road and North Bridge Road, is of neo-classical architecture. It was completed in 1930 and served as a theatre until the 1940s when the Shaw Organisation turned it into a cinema.
