The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush. The building is part of Denver's Civic Center area.

I'm about a block south of Olvera Street, at the onramp to the 101 Freeway.
If not for the skyscrapers peeking over City Hall's "shoulder" this would almost look as it did back in the 50s or 60s when I was growing up outside the city.
There weren't too many beautiful blue sky days back then, however. Thick smog blanketed the area most of the time.
Back in downtown Launceston again. This time we're on the corner of St John and Cimitiere Street. We can see the spire of St Andrews Church at the top of the hill, and in front of that is the Town Hall. To the right of the Victorian building (in which the City Council Offices are located) here on the corner is the main city police station. The lines and light and shade made this a very interesting shot to compose.
Had done 86k miles at its last MoT, a healthy 12,000 up on the previous year. Inevitably it's had some failures on corrosion, but its owner seems keen to keep it going.
I was surprised to find such a good looking 1980 first generation Civic, and in such a very 1970s apple green colour to make it even better. This must be a facelifted model, since it has a hatch. First Civics did not come with one.

An evening walk round an almost deserted town due to the World Cup on TV with England v Tunisia, was very pleasant. Southend Civic Centre on a sunny evening.
