(Main) contests->b/w challenge
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 .

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
Ohio has been a state since 1803. I just missed going to the celebration by a few years. LOL.
Very nice, Marsha.
Very nice, Marsha.

I'm in a story both funny and cruel. But am I the hero or am I the fool?
Great post Marsha, and interesting narrative to go with it

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Lots of history here and great angle and detail...good one, Marsha.

Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
Fave and save.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
