Columns and Clouds

Standing under the magnificent blue tiled "awning" at the top of the front steps of the Trenton (New Jersey State Capitol) War Memorial building, looking out toward the State House.

The sky was blown out in my original so I picked one from my collection. I was happily surprised by the way it turned out.
------------
Had to do a lot of work to patch up broken, cracked tiles and pitted masonry. The building, which houses the Patriot Theater, is in dire need of sprucing--Memorial plaques are fading badly, and the close-up views are so disappointing. Sadly, although New Jersey taxes have been among the highest in the country, there aren't funds available for maintaining its historic buildings, I guess. I hope this image conveys the potential majesty of this structure.
