The Capitol Halls

IMG_5815

Just before four o’clock last Friday afternoon, great sadness entered my soul as my Senate intern badge was voided. 

Luckily, on Thursday I had taken advantage of my last full day of free reign of the capitol building.  I wandered the now familiar halls one last time after I got off work, and was literally the only person in the rotunda for a long time.  I can’t even express how beautiful it is when you are alone in those historic rooms and halls, instead of crowded in with a million tourists.  Hopefully these pictures will give you an idea.  I miss it already.

Oh, and did I mention that it was ridiculously perfect outside that day?  The sky was so blue.

  1. Awesome! I can actually feel the solemness and history in these photos. Can't believe you had the place to yourself for that long.
