When you visit the beautiful state capitol in Des Moines, Iowa, it's hard to know whether to look around, down or up. Here I opted for up and was rewarded with this detail shot of the vaulted elegance of the ceiling in a large gallery in one of the building's wings. The unique, five-domed structure was built between 1871 and 1886. The decor is ornate but not overwhelmingly so.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
