Easy to see why year after year it's voted the prettiest capital building in the US. Did they tell you on the tour that all those beautiful globe lights the ladies hold are Austrian crystals, and the other solid glass globes are also Austrian, but have a special cut in the glass so the blub reflects an "x" shape within the globe? Neat. You got amazing pictures.
No expense was spared on the decorative features of this gorgeous building. Pictures two and three suggest that Pennsylvanians enjoy a good orgy from time to time.
My favorite spot here in Harrisburg.

I skipped the tour, I move to fast for them.
DeleteTruly grand and artful. I want those figurative lamps!
ReplyDeleteGlad I walked over to see it.
DeleteInteresting to note the visual endorsement of Roman paganism as pure religion. We should be so lucky...
ReplyDeleteThe roots of other religions according to some learned scholars
DeleteIs that some sort of capitol orgy statue on the outside and did I see Maddie sculpted there?
ReplyDeleteI love the shots of the dome, both inside and out. The California capitol building in Sacramento has a gorgeous dome from the inside,.
I have driven past the California State Capital, but not been in.
DeleteSo gorgeous! Love the angels with the globes of light especially. What is the golden statue on top of the dome?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure, I added two images, the best close-ups I have.
DeleteGreat tour of this building. That statue in the second and third shots is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOn the front, around the entrance.

ReplyDeleteThere must be a reason a couple of bloggers live there.
