State House Dome

The Maryland State House is the oldest in continuous legislative use in the United States. Construction started in 1772, and the Maryland legislature first met there in 1779. It is topped by the largest wooden dome built without nails in the nation. The Maryland state house housed the workings of the government from November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784, and the Treaty of Paris was ratified there on January 14, 1784, so Annapolis became the first peacetime capital of the US.

It was in the Maryland state house that George Washington famously resigned his commission before the Continental Congress on December 23, 1783.

Thanks for the history lesson of the day. I guess I should've paid more attention in high school.

this picture feels pretty washed to me. i would try messing with the contranst and gamma ray adjustments in the editing process, maybe, to make the dark spots darker and the picture feel overall richer.

Nice effort here. The flag and the spire at the top blend together, losing the visual interest as you follow the line. I think the colors are fine, they look natural.

I always like looking up. I wonder if the small detail in the lower right from the main building detracts? Not sure.
