Wow, this dome is impressive! I love these statues!
Hppy weekend to you, Jack:)
Great image of a beautiful building!
Classical and very classy!
Very nice details Jack, the sculptures and the fretwork on the turret. I'm curious about the gold part, when you zoom in close it almost looks like some sort of covering, can you elaborate merci beaucoup!
Gorgeous! Now that is what a capitol dome should look like! I can't wait to see the inside.
On our drives to Jersey we pass twice a trip. Thanks for the closeup. Are they all women?
Wonderful shot Jack. Really beautiful. Have a nice weekend.
After seeing your photos of the interior of the Conn. Supreme Court chamber several weeks ago, "I am sure the interior of the Capitol will be impressive.
The dome is impressive. The Arizona state capitol has a very low, copper dome, with a single statute -- winged victory -- on top.
fabulous photo!
I like all the different statues.
What a terrific capture, Jack! I love the gold and the statutes are beautiful! Look forward to seeing more! Enjoy your day!

Hmmm, can't wait to go inside...
Very nice! Love the statuary, too. I'll bet you can see that gold dome from long distances!
Even on a dull day it glows away in your shot! Real gold leaf?
I really like the color contrast between the dome and statues. Very good photo.
Ohhh... this looks great!!
Fantastic photo, Jack.
It's really stunning and you must be able to see it shining from miles away, like the Golden Dome in Jerusalem. I'm keen to peep inside the building.
I guess each statue has a symbolic meaning: justice, art, etc...?Very classical and beautyful.
Stunning Jack! it looks like real gold leaf .... and the statues tres elegante! I'm imagining it lit up at night looking spectacular.
A little bling always makes a building more interesting and elegant looking. Even when it already is both. Just look around Paris.
Wow! That's fantastic. I guess they spend a lot of money keeping this clean and shiny.
Handsome! Makes me think Connecticut must be a well-to-do state.
Nice use of the zoom lens here.
You've topped yourself with this shot. I think the Capitol deserves revisiting often.
What a gorgeous dome!
