Rotunda, Parliament Building, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, 2009

I use my frame and vantage point to bisect the dome itself here, and call attention instead to the repeating flow of half circles, and the wonderfully ornate edges that are full of repeating embellishments. Although I’ve abstracted the scene, I set it into motion – its like a giant machine full of gears that somehow manages to work together. Just as a government should!

Glad you picked up on the world "Splendor," Carol. I made sure to keep it in the frame, because it sums up the whole purpose of such architecture.

I have photographed the exterior of this beautiful building a few times but have never managed to get inside. Glorious ceiling paintings displayed here in a very interesting way. I like your use of the gold arch to frame the scene. And the special message of "SPLENDOR" seems to say it all.
