Ryon (Skorz) > As part of the holiday season's decorative motif, the city keeps only the dome of the capitol brightly lit, turning off the lights for the facade.

Ryon (Skorz) > The Texas Capitol Building is a stuffy and ponderous structure, affecting the mishmash of architectural styles that you would expect from 1800s frontier folk attempting to achieve or at least emulate some of the sophistication of an established civilzation and culture (sadly, with the exception of Austin itself, Texas still has not achieved this sophistication. Or any, for that matter). That said, it also has lots of nooks and crannies that cast lots of interesting shadows. This particular photo is an HDR composite of a correctly exposed dome and a severely underexposed facade, and a blown-out dome and a facade exposed for the shadows.
