House of State [Contest Winner Pool February 2009 ]
Uploaded: February 16, 2009 01:21:17
-------------
Yesterday, "Intrepid Photographer" made the two-mile journey across the Delaware River to New Jersey's State Capitol, Trenton. Frequently I've photographed the back of this magnificent building from across the River. This is its front.
-----
The New Jersey State House is the second oldest building of state government in the nation. It's magnificent gold leaf dome can just barely be seen from this viewpoint.
--------
The landing geese were photographed from the rear of the building, where they were getting ready to have a swim.
-----------
New Jersey was one of the original Colonies to "BELONG" to the new Union.
