The Washington State Capitol in Olympia by Bruce Johnson

I've lurked around the beautiful Washington State Capitol for several years. I thought I'd share a few pictures. I'm also working on a short book that will contain these images and many, many others. Also, don't miss my Youtube video, which displays many images, with the accompaniment of an original sound track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNY9dHonUTc

 

To me, this image has a very Greek look. Maybe it stirs my memories of Athens from my one visit there decades ago.
