140 of 365 - the Best Doors and Windows in the State

5/20/2014

It wouldn't be right to try to fulfill our latest challenge of "Doors and Windows" without revisited the best building in Wisconsin; the State Capital. So I headed down yesterday and looked at it just from the viewpoint of doors and windows. What fun and what details.

The door knobs that welcome you in.

An official caught pacing in a conference room while on the phone - caught between the door and the window.

Looking up never gets old; windows that add both light and beauty.

FLASHBACK: It was a glorious day in my favorite building. One that I feel both pride and ownership in.

The whole time I was there, with the many school children touring, a whole new batch of lawyers being sworn in, and many international tourists, I couldn't help but think of that day a couple of years ago when an egotistical Governor thought he could take this building from us and call it his own. A day, in 2011 when citizens respectfully left notes to him and legislators had to crawl in through the offices of their opponents.
