 For some reason it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and spiraling down the rabbit hole. But really it's the Dome of the Texas State Capitol Building in Austin. Just walked right in (it's open to the public to wander around) and pointed my super wide angle lens up. Didn't even know I had this shot until I uploaded the photos and this happened to be my favorite. I've been traveling to Austin for work for many years and never thought to bring my camera. Glad I finally did and took the time to see the capitol. It is a beautiful example of 19th century architecture.

Great score...but still underrated...you see a lot of dome photos here on DPC...but IMO, this is the best of the bunch.

Looking at the pillars I'd say we are definately looking up. Nicre shot and crop. B&W was a good choice
