It's tiny in the background....but technically it is a shot of the Capitol of Washington State!

As a curious Brit...did one architect manage to secure the contract for all State Capitol buildings?

They all look similar to the Senate building in Rome as well...was it an Italian architect by and chance, quite old, wearing what looked like a blanket?

What's the story?

Has anything in your experience led you to believe that politicians ever have an original thought?

Lamble is missing in action from this forum as far as I know. So, he cannot read your post. But I agree with your comment.

This was Thanksgiving morning 2010. I'd put the turkey in the smoker and geared up for a ride around town. Was a great morning for it. Traffic was almost nil. I pulled up onto the sidewalk and parked. State street was empty as I crossed. But as I turned around, fumbling to get my phone out of my pocket to snap the picture, here comes a city police car, who stopped about 15' to my left. I expected him to tell me to move it. Instead he just smiled and waved and mouthed "Go ahead, I'll wait." And he stopped other cars coming as I snapped a couple pix. The whole thing probably took 30 seconds.

If you ever want a tour of the inside when you're up around here during the work week, drop me a note. My office is on the 2nd floor off to the left!

Nebraska

Fondly referred to by the locals as "The Penis on the Plains". As the tallest building around, it can be seen from scores of miles outside of the city.
