Details of the Colorado State Capitol Dome Building In the fall of 2012

In the fall of 2012 I went to Sloans Lake to photograph at sunrise since it is the time of year the sun will rise directly over the city

As I walked around the city and passed by the building I would always stop as throughout the day and varying conditions the facade looks quite different

Using a tripod I slowly moved the camera with a slow shutter speed to add a little blur to the image

As some of our stormy and overcast conditions have moved on I headed to the same spot in late September this year as well to capture a similar image at sunrise

Details of the Colorado State Capitol Dome Building In the fall of 2012When you climb the steps to the public area in the dome of the Colorado State Capitol you start to get the sense of the detail of the dome itself. There are actually two domes within the building itself. The interior dome as seen here allows plenty of natural light to come into the building through the open areas as the dome climbs above the building. The center section of the dome can actually move to allow materials to be hoisted above this section,
