Indiana State Capitol

Today we had a tour of the Indiana State Capitol. This is looking up at its stained glass dome (within a dome within a dome). From an Indiana government self-guided tour, http://www.in.gov/idoa/files/WebPageSelfGuide6.pdf » “the stained glass dome … is 72 feet in diameter and supported by eight granite columns. The dome begins ninety feet above the main floor, and rises to 105 feet above the floor of the rotunda.”

It was a hot day, but a good day in a clean & friendly city.
