I may jump around a little for the next day or two - and here's a good example. This is the Union Pacific RR Station in Salt Lake City - our last shot on the morning we were leaving town. As expected, it is a hotel, restaurant and has some shops - similar to the one in Denver (and other famous train hubs), and as can be seen here, is a hub/intersection for light rain moving in/around town. We got a lot of shots as the train was on the move and tried to vary the shutter speed to create a ghosting effect while still making it recognizable as to its original form.

Colorado State Capitol Dome. Always love the spiral staircases, even when they are not a dominant element.

We are on the lower floor of the Colorado State Capitol - still exploring possibilities for great images. There are lots! This is a rather grand staircase leading up to the 1st floor with, as is usual, lots of hand-painted artwork depicting important parts of Colorado's history. They do a great job of maintaining the building - inside and out - and in a few cases had to wait to photograph a particular area as they went about the daily cleaning and polishing.

Our first morning in Denver and we start with the back view of the Colorado State Capitol. It is a beautiful building with nice lines but a pretty traditional look. Several nice sculptures and the front of the building, which faces west, has a nice long expanse and a very different view of the building. Several shots to come from inside where we go next.

Last shot in Lincoln. I think I expected more of the lighting on the building, particularly the tower. The promenade looking south toward the capitol was brick, stepped and had some nice planting along the side. It was a good look for a last shot before moving on to Denver to photograph the Colorado State Capitol.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites, and it was the perfect location for seeing Lincoln. Not next door, but we were able to walk to the capitol. This is the bank of elevators in the central atrium, and it doesn't take much explanation, but it did take 20 or 30 shots to get them positioned exactly where I wanted them to be for these two patterns. We're going to finish in Lincoln tomorrow or Monday with a couple of exterior shots of the capitol right around dawn.

Yep, we're still in the lower/basement level. Yep, I'm fascinated by the brickwork and arched design. It's so peaceful early in the morning.

This is the closest thing we'll see to a dome in the capitol. If we could see through 362 feet of building, we would see the dome of the second tallest state capitol in the US, second only to Louisiana. The total height of the building is an even 400 feet. The beautiful architecture continues to shine in nearly every direction we look, and it has so many church-like arches and details it's often hard to remember we are in seat of government.

We're still on the main level trying to take in all of the intricate details of this wonderful building. So many mosaic patterns, inlays, paintings on stone or wood, and beautiful marble columns. Everything has a meaning, usually helping to tell the story of Nebraska. We are always so focused on photographing these wonders that we miss the small details. We usually pass on doing any of the tours, and I know we miss hearing more than we get on our own, but tours don't lend themselves to spending the time, without people, letting the camera breathe in scenes like this.

We are now in Lincoln, Nebraska and on the bottom level of the state capitol. Another very surprising experience and you just don't see the rather industrial looking building in here. It's easy to lose yourself in here with all of the hallways and the scope of the building even if we didn't get up to the top where they were in the midst of a 10-year upgrade to the HVAC converting it to thermal power. I keep looking at this tunnel/hallway, the reflections of the lights, and then the ghost at the end of the hall (well, not really a ghost but a slightly moving so not fully focused person) - the only one we'd seen upon entering the building. There were no scanners, no capitol police, no information stands... We did find a room occupied by an information tech employee and asked him about the total absence of things we would have considered "normal," and he said the governor had decreed that capitol belonged and everyone was free to come and go as they please. WOW! As our morning grew on we saw lots of beautiful sights, watched a tour group go through, watched a presentation to a group of predominantly medical personal who had performed some special services to the people, and even met the lieutenant governor. Nope, we sure didn't think that would happen at this point in our visit. Lots more to come.
