The Dome Of Thought by gardenfolk

The Dome Of Thought

The dome of thought
the palace of the soul.
...Lord Byron

The Cincinnati Union Terminal has the tallest half dome in the world...tall enough to put a 10 story building inside. By volume, the biggest half dome in the Western Hemisphere with the Sydney Opera House being larger.

Adjusted for inflation, the total cost of construction, at $41,000,000 made the terminal the most expensive railroad station ever built. Plus it is filled with Art Deco details and exquisite craftsmanship.

There is also a original Rookwood Ice Cream Parlor inside the terminal serving Graeter's ice cream, a taste of Cincinnati history since 1870. Oprah's favorite flavor is the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip.

A fantastic historical place...now all they need is quality museum gift shop on the premises. They should hire me and Sandy. :)

This photo is just fantastic. I love the colours, how they both contrast and compliment each other plus the diminishing circles give a great composition.
