Last shot in Lincoln. I think I expected more of the lighting on the building, particularly the tower. The promenade looking south toward the capitol was brick, stepped and had some nice planting along the side. It was a good look for a last shot before moving on to Denver to photograph the Colorado State Capitol.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites, and it was the perfect location for seeing Lincoln. Not next door, but we were able to walk to the capitol. This is the bank of elevators in the central atrium, and it doesn't take much explanation, but it did take 20 or 30 shots to get them positioned exactly where I wanted them to be for these two patterns. We're going to finish in Lincoln tomorrow or Monday with a couple of exterior shots of the capitol right around dawn.

Yep, we're still in the lower/basement level. Yep, I'm fascinated by the brickwork and arched design. It's so peaceful early in the morning.

This is the closest thing we'll see to a dome in the capitol. If we could see through 362 feet of building, we would see the dome of the second tallest state capitol in the US, second only to Louisiana. The total height of the building is an even 400 feet. The beautiful architecture continues to shine in nearly every direction we look, and it has so many church-like arches and details it's often hard to remember we are in seat of government.

We're still on the main level trying to take in all of the intricate details of this wonderful building. So many mosaic patterns, inlays, paintings on stone or wood, and beautiful marble columns. Everything has a meaning, usually helping to tell the story of Nebraska. We are always so focused on photographing these wonders that we miss the small details. We usually pass on doing any of the tours, and I know we miss hearing more than we get on our own, but tours don't lend themselves to spending the time, without people, letting the camera breathe in scenes like this.

We are now in Lincoln, Nebraska and on the bottom level of the state capitol. Another very surprising experience and you just don't see the rather industrial looking building in here. It's easy to lose yourself in here with all of the hallways and the scope of the building even if we didn't get up to the top where they were in the midst of a 10-year upgrade to the HVAC converting it to thermal power. I keep looking at this tunnel/hallway, the reflections of the lights, and then the ghost at the end of the hall (well, not really a ghost but a slightly moving so not fully focused person) - the only one we'd seen upon entering the building. There were no scanners, no capitol police, no information stands... We did find a room occupied by an information tech employee and asked him about the total absence of things we would have considered "normal," and he said the governor had decreed that capitol belonged and everyone was free to come and go as they please. WOW! As our morning grew on we saw lots of beautiful sights, watched a tour group go through, watched a presentation to a group of predominantly medical personal who had performed some special services to the people, and even met the lieutenant governor. Nope, we sure didn't think that would happen at this point in our visit. Lots more to come.

Tomorrow we head west to Nebraska for yet another state capitol. This last shot is from one of the fountains behind the Missouri State Capitol. If you walked a few feet north beyond this fountain you would look down upon the Missouri River. This has been a really good and productive and entirely unexpected stop with such a magnificent building.

Missouri State Capitol - 2nd floor, low to the ground, looking slightly up with a 12mm focal length on a full frame camera. Not my normal style but I like it!

08/29/2026

Always one of my favorite shots - looking straight up at the dome from the main floor. Everything in this building is hand painted telling stories about early Missouri.

And so begins a new trip - and our first pleasant surprise - the Missouri State Capital. As many of you may know, Jefferson City, MO is the capital city, and it is surprisingly remote/off the main road compared to so many such cities. It sits directly on the Missouri River just west of St. Louis and is relatively small, both landmass and population, but a nice little town and the state capitol is surprisingly beautiful. A fairly traditional building - shape and size - but quite elegant inside. This first shot we took as we entered the main doors to the rotunda and found a large domed room, with as is not unusual, the actual building dome directly in the center. If you look at this room as a larger image you will see a set of fine dark blue curtains. Once you see it, you can't unsee the Wizard of Oz and wonder who/what is behind them!
