Just a note on the New Mexico State Capital building … the House and Senate chambers are below ground. The building was designed to look like the Zia sun symbol when viewed from above the building. As I recall, it was built in the 1960s.
Very interesting to know, Doc. I had asked people to point me to the State Capitol and nobody had that information to give me. Thanks!

I've always been interested (and have a graduate degree) in architecture. I've wanted to photograph all 50 state capitol buildings, but will never get to all of them. How about you hoggers in the US adding to my start and see how many we can get. (Canadian provincial capitols, also.)
Heres a beginning, Olympia WA, Monpelier VT and Charleston WV.

Hi, Rich. I've sent you a batch of State Capitols, but forgot to "quote reply." Hope this helps to link my photographs with your request.

I also collect photographs of State Capitol buildings, and I have a few for your collection (as you see they are mostly classical in architecture):
Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City
(Download)
I count this one: first (not completed) capitol of Utah in Fillmore UT when Brigham Young was governor
(Download)
Montana State Capitol in Helena (with visiting choir)
(Download)
Idaho State Capitol in Boise (with uncracked reproduction of the Liberty Bell which visitors can ring!)
(Download)
Oregon State Capitol in Salem (not as "classical") facing a beautiful Capitol Mall with fountains
(Download)
Nevada State Capitol in Carson City (a beautiful Victorian-style building)
(Download)
New Mexico State Capitol in Santa Fe (a totally modern building that hardly stands out in a complex of other government buildings)
(Download)
California State Capitol in Sacramento (we're back to the Classical style)
(Download)
one interior: up the Grand Staircase in Montana's State Capitol in Helena

My vote goes to the highly stylized and artistic #13

Stretched the original photo a bit, toned down the green a bit with some magenta, got rid of what I thought were "eye snags," darkened it a bit to add an eerie quality, and then cropped it to focus on a mysterious corner of the lake with its play of light and shadow.

#10 - not much of the original, but such a fun photograph with all the different parts working together.

Thank you, Irene. I wanted to do something dramatic!

how about framing "Old Barney" as a watercolor against a stormy sky?

An old photograph of the Tetons found in my grandfather's attic.

I love the inventiveness of #24

It's a lovely photograph full of textures, but to throw a monkey-wrench into "What do you see?", I see a full profile facing right with the "eye" being the right eye . . . of a buffalo. It really is all in "the eye of the beholder."

Perhaps a bit of a painterly effect
