Capturing nature's peacefulness one photo at a time.
California’s State Capitol building has a lot of intricate details and ornate architecture, which makes for a fascinating time wandering its halls. Here are some of its doors submitted for Dan’s photo challenge – Thursday Doors.
And last, but not least, I added a door that leads to the capitol’s rose garden for Cee’s Flower of the Day (FOTD) photo challenge.

Thank you! 😊 It really is a work of art. I am glad I got to wander around it before Covid. Bet it’s still locked down right now.

Those are magnificent doors. The building is beautiful. Thanks for including the interior view and doors. I love the woodwork inside. Good job knocking off two prompts! I appreciate Cee listing this challenge on her page.

Lived for 6 years close to Sacramento, but never visited the state capitol building. Beautiful interior. And the flowers are always blooming in California (except for in the far North of the state. Have to get used to that, now we live in Austin, Texas.:)

I haven’t been up to Austin, but have been to San Antonio many times and I missed the flowers and sunsets while there. Beautiful trees, but hard to see the horizon in SA.

Don’t get me started (joking). I lived at 3000 feet in the mountains, before Austin, and although I like the Texan people, I wished they had more hills and nature:)
