Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. This reconstructed Capitol Building is based on the design of the first one built in 1705. On one side was the meeting place for the House of Burgesses, the other for the Council and court, both chaired by the royal governor. The large trees were planted in 1934, when the reconstructed building was completed.

You did a great job on this one Thad, lots to look at, and enjoy. The building plus the lighting, and shadow play are super, along with that gorgeous sky. tigs=^..^=

I love how the capitol building is framed with the trees, and I also love the dappled sunlight on the front of the building. Beautiful shot again, Thad.
