Capitol Dome

It was a beautiful day in Trenton today. Took a walk around the State House & got a shot of the Capitol Dome. I love the story of its restoration.
"In 1999, the restoration of the State House dome was completed. The project began in October, 1996. The dome is covered with 48,000 pieces of gold leaf. Each piece of gold leaf cost $1.00 and was paid for with money raised by New Jersey school kids through the "Dimes for the Dome" program. As a thank you for their contributions, the dome stands in honor of New Jersey children."
