Capitolio

Cuba

This is a copy of the American Capitol building which
dates back from the time that Cuba and the USA were on
very good terms with one another. The Cubans are very
proud of the fact that their version is a few inches
taller... but the American one is in a better state...

ps. This is a composite image.


other sizes: small medium original auto

The Capitolio was closed every time that we wanted to pay it a visit so we were asked to turn back once half way up the stairs. I will one day return and check out the interior; and check out the sculputre with the diamond. I am sure that it is a real one. The place is important enough.

Exactly Alexander, you guessed it... this is the same moon as the one in the vulchure shot. It was actually photographed in Jersey and edited into this one... A bit of messing about with the image editor.
