Kentucky State Capitol

[gnagel]

I revisited the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort earlier this month. Here are some of my favorites from my visit (which included both the Old and the New buildings). I have included a couple from my previous visit a decade ago.

1- One of the most impressive scenes of any of the state capitols IMO...this corridor is longer than a football field and is lined by 36 columns of one-piece Vermont granite!

2-Kentucky State Senate Chamber

3- Marble staircase

4- Entrance to the rotunda of the Old Kentucky State Capitol

5- Colonel Harland Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken after age 65.

6- This 14-foot tall bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln (1909) stands in the rotunda of the capitol

7- Self-supporting double staircase of limestone in the Old Kentucky State Capitol

8- Another view of the great corridor of the Kentucky State Capitol building...the Senate chamber is on one end and the House chamber on the other

9- Kentucky House of Representatives Chamber

10- Inner dome and cupola of the Old Kentucky State Capitol

11- Inner dome of the Kentucky State Capitol--the dome changes colors every few seconds

You do such a great job with architectural photography. These are all excellent! I admire the various staircase images in particular, mainly because I'm a sucker for staircases.

Beautiful exterior shot, too. Great set!
