The Iowa State Capitol Building in Des Moines was recently refurbished, including the regilding of its dome with 23-karat gold leaf. Built between 1871 and 1886, it is the only five-domed capitol in the country.
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Ornate.”

Wow! Very ornate! Something I would expect to see more in the eastern part of the country, but not in Iowa! [chuckle] Nicely captured!

Yeah, there are a lot of hidden treasures in Iowa besides corn and pigs. Thanks for stopping by, Rene!

And when I saw the photo challenge ‘ornate’ I thought to myself, “What did I do with the photos of the capitol?”. It is a marvelous old grand dame isn’t it?

Thanks, Kim. I would love to see your pics of the capitol! I wish that I had some interior shots to go along with the challenge.
