Wisconsin State Capitol Building on the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
The building is a geographical one-of-a-kind. It’s the only Capitol Building to be built on an isthmus in the world.
Does everyone remember what an isthmus is from 5th grade geography? Hmmm.

I played with this photo to try and get a shot reminiscent of the old postcards in the 1940s and early 50s, and the technique worked pretty well as far as meeting that goal. I don’t know if it’s too much though.
Interior of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building
Madison WI
Snow fell throughout the winter wrapped city,
sweeping the streets and sidewalks, snowflakes dancing with the ice crystals.
All was white and wild.
Winter’s zenith.
In the depths of a darkened, shadowy building
the lamps glowed throughout the longest night. The lamps glowed.
Solstice. The longest night of the year. December 22 at 1:08 am was the mid-point between the equinoxes. From now on, we folk in the Northern Hemisphere will be ‘seeing the light.’
To all, a celebration.

A early morning trip to the Wisconsin State Capitol Building in downtown Madison yielded some interesting photographs and designs. This was a warm place to be on another snowy, blowy, cold winter’s day.
