Today's the first day of school for most of the kids in France. Summer vacations are over. Temperatures are dropping and we're losing daylight at the rate of about three minutes a day. I'm hoping we'll have some "Indian summer" type weather before November.
Des Moines' skyline has changed a lot since I took this picture. Digitized color print, August, 1986.
This is the state capitol in Des Moines, IA, as seen from the interstate. Being from a state capital myself, I'm always curious about what the others look like. For instance, Iowa's capitol building has a dome, gilded no less. New York's capitol is one of the few that doesn't have a dome. I've never made a project of seeing all of the state capitols. I should count the one's I've seen. One of these days. And, yes, I consider speeding through a capital city on the interstate as "seen."
We have a friend who loves to tell us the places she’s seen by only being in the airports. At least you actually saw it. I’ve never been to or through Des Moines.
ReplyDeleteThe Ohio State Capital has a dome that is flat on top, like a hat box, the locals call it the cheese box.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Columbus for 14 years and never heard that. But I was sheltered. Or drunk.
DeleteThe KY state capitol also has a dome. Yes, you definitely have seen Iowa's capitol. I loved seeing your capitol in Albany.
ReplyDeleteWell, why not, eh?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you clarified this; it looked Midwest not France.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share my personal experience with Dr Jekawo herbal medicine in case it might help others.

I have been free of sores for three years.
