  2. Beautiful shot! I've lived in the DC area for over twenty years now, and never been inside the Capitol. Now I see what I've been missing!

  4. It is a beautiful building--I was so amazed by it. Reading Dan Brown's new book brought it all back to my memory. Your picture is lovely.

  7. The architecture and detail is stunning. I love the angle of the picture and how much is captured.

    My husband and I keep talking about taking a road trip to DC and this photo is a good reminder of why we should!

  8. Are the figures three dimensional or painted on? I can't tell. ;-)

  9. I love the architecture of D.C. sadly, on this trip I was rather sick, and most of my photos came out blurry...as was I.

    Stine, it is a fresco, painted on wet plaster.

  11. Bandit, this picture was taken while hosting some visitors to the USA, but the visitors were in the hands of our guide at the time.
