This is the state capitol as seen from the top of a hill at Lions Park. The “Skyscraper on the Prairie” is the tallest building in North Dakota at 19 stories; it cost the state forty-six cents per cubic foot when it was completed in 1934 to replace the original Capitol building after it burned down. In true North Dakota style, they did it all above board during the Great Depression, selling off half the Capitol grounds to finance the two million-dollar budget and stripping the building of exterior ornamentation to come in under the mark.
Now that’s my kind of municipality.

Rob's Surf Report 
Thanks for the Pingback, Rob!
You’re welcome!
Nice ones … again! *smile
pink horizon broken by dark architecture – interesting!
One of those moments you know you’ve got to capture. 🙂
What a perfect angle you got for this shot! Really nice!
It was tough, but worth it. Thanks!
Gorgeous colours in that sky. Nice capture 🙂
Thanks, I only wish the camera would capture more of what the eye really sees. 🙂
That’s a great photo. Thanks for the pingback.
Thank you for checking me out!
