The elegant State Capitol of Connecticut is on a hill above downtown Hartford—the same hill once occupied by the school that would become Trinity College.

A Spring Sunset Over the Connecticut State Capitol
There’s a benefit to taking way, way too long to process some of my raw images: I get to revisit great evenings (like this one from the spring) and warm myself as we near the darkness of the winter solstice.
Sunset Light on Bushnell Tower
A great sunset over Bushnell Park is well-matched by reflections from the windows of Bushnell Tower.
Connecticut State Capitol When the Light Is Right
A big, dramatic golden dome really stands out against a sky of dramatic Rayleigh-scattering-blue clouds, but views of the Connecticut State Capitol always leave me wondering what-ifs… This was the original site of Trinity College, which relocated to make way for this current structure. How would this high point in Hartford appear with Trinity here instead?
Capitol Dome in Summer
The golden dome of Connecticut’s Capitol looks perfect against a sunset sky. My favorite detail is the concert happening on the lawn of Bushnell Park in the background.
Integratron
Landers, California’s Integratron is said to be at the intersection of ley lines and underground reservoirs, and was originally designed to hold a device that its creator hoped would extend human lifespans. While I can’t say I’ve been able to verify any of that information, its stark white presence in the desert above the Coachella Valley is certainly striking.
While it was freezing and blustery outside, within the Integratron, the enormous parabolic dome of wood (with no metal used in its construction) was definitely warm and inviting. I’ll attribute this to thermodynamics more than supernatural forces.
Golden Dome Symmetry
Reflection symmetry makes the golden dome of Les Invalides all the more imposing.
Les Invalides Storm
A late-fall storm slicked the stones of Les Invalides and the sidewalk across the, uh, moat from it.
Seattle Radar
In Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood lies Seattle’s Discovery Park, formerly Fort Lawton. The park still contains the vestiges of the old military installation including this radar dome, which looks sort of out of place in a municipal park. This was taken just after one of Seattle’s characteristic spectacularly colorful sunsets.
