Our gold-leafed dome shimmers on the hill:
The staircase up to the breathtaking rotunda:Toldja it was breathtaking:



A gorgeous bas-relief tribute to women crowned by an unmistakably Deco sunburst:
Another vestibule has a creepy display of dolls fetishizing the inauguration gowns of our First Ladies:



The I above the House chamber windows stands for I LOVE THIS BUILDING:
But gross. Just fucking gross. Just because an impotent man-boy climbs on his Big Wheel and hurls his feces at the adults to play president doesn’t mean we have to sully our Senate chamber walls with his festering rictus:Patterns and textures on the second floor:

The freaking STUNNING second-floor library, ladies and gentlemen:

It has lots of books:
And a dumb waiter. For smart people. They’re smart because they read books. And they figured out a way to avoid carrying them up the steps:
A little sorbet to cleanse the palate:
And an intricate iron staircase the is the envy of the entire Industrial Revolution:
More intricate wrought iron:
And a beautifully stenciled ceiling medallion:
Monuments on the nearby grounds:


Walking away:
Goodbye for now, noble capitol:
