Built over 100 years ago, Savannah’s handsome city hall still houses the city’s government. Its most celebrated feature is a dome, now covered in gold leaf. (A tour guide told me that the gilding is a relatively recent addition. She grew up in Savannah and remembers the dome when it was covered in its original dull green copper patina.) I photographed the dome at sunset to compare the gilded reflections to the golden numbers on the clock below. I boldly cropped out the dome’s Victorian cupola here to simplify the image, reduce the amount of empty sky in the frame, and stress the geometric rhythms of the buildings architecture.
