Dome Lantern
Uploaded: January 18, 2013
Looking up into the lantern of the massive dome of the Library of Congress. Allegorical figures abound; in the lantern's smaller dome,
a female figure in blue represents Human Understanding lifting the veil of ignorance from her eyes, while painted into the collar band
are figures representing vital contributions to the advancement of civilization, such as Rome/Administration, Islam/Physics, etc.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
