The Dome
The Dome
5-image HDR, f/22, ISO 80, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII.
A close-up of the Indiana State House rotunda, topped with a magnificent dome, soaring 250 feet above the floor. On the exterior, the dome is golden- painted. The ceiling on the interior contains large blue stained glass windows. One hundred years after its completion, Indiana's Statehouse underwent a major renovation/restoration. To ensure that light filtered evenly through the dome to the floor of the rotunda more than 100 feet below, workers painted the interior surface of the outer dome with highly reflective white epoxy paint and added artificial light behind the glass. As a result, the colors of the interior dome glow richly even on cloudy days.

  Gorgeous colors - and the information is most interesting. The lighting sounds inspired - it would be a shame not to see this work of art in all its glory. Well taken and presented, Rona.
