Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 53 - The California State Capitol - August 21, 2014


I

On a bright sunny day, against a blue sky background, the state capitol 
of California looks especially beautiful.



This neoclassical structure, home to the government of 
California is located in Sacramento.  The office of the
governor is here.



Based on the U. S. Capitol Building in Washington, D. C., 
it was completed between 1861 and 1874 and, in 1973, it
was listed on the Office of the National Register of Historic Places.

  6. After nearly 26 years in California, I've never been to Sacramento! I've been from one end of the state to the other but missed it completely.
    Thanks for the beautiful photos of what I'm missing!
