View from the Top

Posted on July 12th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Downtown, Public Buildings & Sites

Normally when we can see the dome of the State Capital Building then we’re looking up at it, so I thought it was an interesting view from this perspective. This shot was taken from the top of the Monument on the Circle zooming in west down Market Street. To me it looks like the Monument and the Capital Building are about the same height? I’ll have to research that factoid. It’s recorded somewhere I’m sure.

After looking at this photo I started wondering how they raise and lower the State and U.S. flags on the top. You can’t just climb up there and pull on the ropes…well, unless you’re Spider Man.
