Rotunda

This is another shot of the Dome of the Illinois State Capitol Building. This one was taken from the 3rd floor.
There are 4 floors that are accessible to the public, beyond that, it has to be cleared by the Secretary of State to go up any further. I have never been to the top, but I hear it is one heck of a trip up there, with rickety suspended stairs. I am a bit afraid of heights so I will probably never make it to the top, although it sure would make for a great photo opportunity. :)
Thanks for looking.
