US Capitol Rotunda / Washington DC Photography

Been busy shooting and adding a lot of new Washington DC Images to my Collection of Washington DC Photography this past month for an upcoming book project.  My favorite building in Washington DC has always been the US Capitol.  I never tire of seeing it up close - at different times of day and light - for me it's architecture is simply beautiful.  The interior isn't as accessible as it used to be but if you have the chance take a visit to the Rotunda.  Truly awe inspiring architectural design and well worth the effort.

Here's a gallery of images shot the past month:  New Washington DC Photographs

National Gallery of Art Rotunda

The interior domed rotunda of the National Gallery of Art - West Building was designed in 1937 by architect John Russell Pope. Composed of pink Tennessee marble this neoclassical interior space was modeled after the Pantheon in Rome and at the time was considered the largest marble structure in the world.  Mr Pope later went on to design the Jefferson Memorial also in Washington DC.
