Capitol City
Monday, September 22nd, 2008
All the corridors and windows in the cityscape open up onto the Capitol dome. Aglow in the tree branches, above the rooftops, it’s illuminated in an orange band around the inside center and from the outside with floodlights at each side, the solid white paint accentuating its purity, maybe even its patriotism, its history and symbolism.
Flanked on either side by American flags and both houses of government, it sits up high – the highest point except for two rusty smokestacks in the foreground (as seen from the south side.) Energy seems to radiate from atop this hill and its luminosity, but its really the streets that bear extra life around the Capitol. (more…)
