Capitol Fog

It was another foggy night, so after getting the kids to bed I grabbed the camera and rushed out to get a few pictures. The first stop was the State Capitol, which looked a little eerie in the thick fog...



Construction on the capitol began in 1899, on top of a hill that was previously the site of the state prison. After years of delays and political wrangling, it was completed in 1915.



The beam of light hitting the capitol dome here is from a spotlight, and not (as I had hoped) the light from an alien ship transporting some of our craziest legislators back to their home planet.
