This is my last post about the Capitol's interior for now. I will return later to show some of the important rooms and some statues and exhibitions.
Nice curves, lovely details, rich architecture, great building. Not as old as it seems, but very impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does look like modern art! Super photo! Geometric pretty well covers it. I didn't mind geometry either, because a certain girl in my class did most of my work. I know, I am shameless! Still!
ReplyDeleteThis shape may make you think of high school geometry class, but it makes me think of a slice of pizza.
ReplyDeletethis is my favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteKinda reminds me of cookie cutters! Really though, this is some beautifully detailed architecture.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading the comments above, and I'm always interested in association. My mind now is blank except that I'm enjoying the appeal of all the different lines and forms...yes, geometry. The only math I really liked!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot Jack. Really cool composition. Love it.
ReplyDeleteOoooh...I love this one too! The "geometry" of it is a perfect analogy. All those lines, angles, arches, and circles. A treat for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteI hated geometry, but I love this shot.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like modern art. :)
Beautiful! And the underside of stairs is not something one sees often in photos of stairs either. Love it.
ReplyDeletewow, i love this and i wasn't a fan of geometry in school! amazing curves, lines and color!
ReplyDeleteTerrific capture and I love your composition and the rich red color! Such a beautiful building! This does indeed look like a piece of modern art, Jack! I've really enjoyed the tour of the building you've taken us on! Look forward to more!

It's the details as well as the curves that you've caught that do it for me Jack. The star motifs on the staircase, the splash of red,yellow and green and then there's the very elegant little wall sconce under the stairs. Well composed indeed!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo of an amazing building!
ReplyDeletebeautiful ! I love the geometry, color, and shadows! Have you ever seen the Escher print of stairs? Reminds me of that.
ReplyDeleteI loved geometry and perhaps that influences how I feel about this shot. The composition and different layers of architectural design are great. The color adds to its appeal as well!
ReplyDeleteBises,

Great compositions on this and the previous posts. Wonderful, Jack.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully framed shapes and textures. well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a double masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteI like geometry too. And your pictures of course!
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern that the underside of the stairs makes!
ReplyDeleteYes Jack! definitely a favourite of mine too .... wonderful angle and as you say that bold wall in the background is the finishing touch to a beautiful capture. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful shot and fantastic architecture!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Jack;o)

Hope you are having a fabulous week****
Well done! This photo provides so much to observe.
ReplyDeleteLove the angles, curves and the splash of color in your shot, Jack.
ReplyDeleteYou saved the best for last! It's a wonderful shot, filled with interest. Very well done. Much about this building reminds me of the Library of Congress, though the stairway I'm fond of there has an array of cherubs populating it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my site. Just thought I'd let you know that I've actually got 15 pieces in the show! It's a big one.
ReplyDeleteAnd.....my friend my favorite as well. Love the slice of rouge you saved just pour moi! The details here are marvelous. No wonder you love this shot.

So it seems I do have a new perspective to bring to the well deserved praise of this composition! Escher, Escher, Escher! -- intersects with Stella -- and Voila!
ReplyDeleteStrong design.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites, too, Jack.
ReplyDeleteWhat design here! There's certainly is a lot of your geometry going on here, Jack. Fine image.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you! There is much to like in this photo!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like this too. Fantastic shapes, shadows and light!
ReplyDeleteSo much to take in with this photo, Jack. Love the variety of shapes. Good eye!
ReplyDeleteThe frame within a frame is so effective here. And the contrast of styles is very cool. No wonder this caught your eye. There's a lot to take in here.
ReplyDeleteWow, wonderful! Great composition with such strong lines and splash of color!
