This is the stairs of The Louisiana State Capital . There is one step for each of the 48 states, listed in the order of their admittance to the Union. Alaska and Hawaii were added to the top step when they were made states. The top step is carved with E Pluribus Unum from the Great Seal of the United States; it means "One from Many." I shot this to include Dan's state of Louisiana and my state of Indiana which luckily were right next to one another . It is hard to shoot this due to the height of the stairs. I guess I could have gone with the helicopter option however I feel Louisiana's Homeland Security might have a problem with that ! Submit your B&W art for the challenge .
