Today marks the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Capitol Dome in Washington, DC. I had no idea this milestone was this close, but I have been taking many photos of the building lately. There are plans to completely cover the dome with scaffolding for the next 2 years because of the deteriorating conditions of the structure.
Capitol Dome
A story published on CBS News’ 60 Minutes program last night had a lot more photography from inside the dome and flyovers above the building. I know that the time will pass quickly, but I want to get as many photos as I can before the dome is covered. These photos were from a recent walk on Capitol Hill in the early evening with the Fuji X100s. The camera continues to perform very well for me!
Being that scaffolding is planned for the dome, wedding photographers have posted their concerns about photos around the city for the next couple of years. Indeed, it will be another way to mark this time in DC history. Additionally it will be completed by the time we inaugurate the next president. Progress and democracy will keep rolling on in our city.
