 I met SandyP at the Texas State Capitol building yesterday and found that it was under a massive renovation.

Completed in 1888 as the winning design from a national competition, the Capitol's style is Renaissance Revival, based on the architecture of 15th-century Italy and characterized by classical orders, round arches and symmetrical composition. The structural exterior walls are "sunset red" granite, quarried just 50 miles from the site and brought to the site by prison convicts. Additional structural support is provided by masonry walls and cast iron columns and beams. In square footage,it is 2nd only to the US Capitol building.

well framed an all that jazz .... normally scaffolding ruins a photo but here you have pressented an image that is still worthy of being hung on the wall.

Love the natural framing and black and white. I hadn't heard they were renovating. We're headed down to Austin either at the end of this month or around Thanksgiving (my in-laws live in Spicewood, TX).

Very nice, I love how it's framed with trees. The facelift looks really cool, actually.
