Details of the Colorado State Capitol Dome Building As the snow tapered off

As the snow tapered off the foothills started to become visible in the distance

Just before Christmas 2011 almost twelve inches of snow fell in the Denver area

At this point instead of being on top of the boat where most people were viewing

Once at the top of the hill there was a nice view of the village and onward to Scoresby Sound

and I was also careful just in case I wanted to head back later to photograph some more

Details of the Colorado State Capitol Dome Building As the snow tapered offWhen you climb the steps to the public area in the dome of the Colorado State Capitol you start to get the sense of the detail of the dome itself. There are actually two domes within the building itself. The interior dome as seen here allows plenty of natural light to come into the building through the open areas as the dome climbs above the building. The center section of the dome can actually move to allow materials to be hoisted above this section,
