Boston Photo Jaunt: The Massachusetts Statehouse

After traversing Beacon Hill from the Charles River, we came up on the backside of the Massachusetts Statehouse.

It was a different view and perspective to approach the Bullfinch yellow-and-cream architecture.

The marble and granite foundation stones exemplify a solid base.

The gilded dome of the Statehouse is captivating from any angle of Old Boston.

 The glint of the gilded dome in the early morning light is especially unique.

Most folks would approach the Statehouse from the Boston Common side of the building.

This was the first time my daughter, Little Bit, had been to the Statehouse. It's a whole other tour to go inside and see the details. We passed that by for today.
