[Leica] Monday Misc.

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  Last week I was invited to show more images from the NY
state capital.  I must admit that I was taking pictures of people and not
architecture but below are some images that reflect NY when it was building
it's capital building.

In the basement you will find some arches that would find themselves at
home in Roman times even though the capital was completed in 1899"

A late addition although he was governor during completion:

This staircase is near the assembly person meeting room:

This is a view from a landing on the grand staircase:

Overlooking the assembly chamber; what you don't see is the gilt ceiling or
the false fireplaces for private conversations:

All the best.
