"OFFICIAL" CALIFORNIANS NOW
It's hard to figure. I've covered major events in the US Congress, spent endless hours in the Indiana State House, have been in State Houses before as well as numerous federal buildings, but even after all these years I am still thrilled, moved even, to be in a building dedicated to the transaction of the people's business. The State House in Sacramento did it to me as well.
It is a magnificent building.
History hides in the shadows.
You have to wonder why the behavior is not always as grand as the chambers.
The Capitol in Sacramento was constructed from 1860 to 1874 and has been well maintained.
The Capitol is bounded by a beautiful park and memorial grounds.
Silly maybe, but we feel like we really are Californians now that we have stepped into a place of history.

See you down the trail.
Great pictures of the capitol. (Note spelling.) I had to refer to The Google to be sure but capital refers mainly to "a stock of accumulated goods." The capital is the city serving as the seat of government. The capitol is the building where the state legislature meets and/or a group of buildings in which the functions of state government are carried out. And the Capitol (first letter capitalized) is where the U.S. Congress meets in Washington, D.C.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's complicated. And I can never remember for sure which is which but . . there you go.
Great photos, by the way.
