That is quite the building. Did you have to stitch this one? Are all the rooms used? Looks like a lot of rooms and court cases!
No, I didn't need to stitch this one, either. I don't know much about the inside; they wouldn't let me in with a camera. Government people love to hide from the public; they used 9/11 as an excuse to keep people from seeing what they are doing. Even post offices now won't let cameras in.
I know someone who was told that the Patriot Act made photographing a public building from a sidewalk illegal. (totally made up; the Patriot Act makes no mention of photographs whatever)
I was so pleased when the security people at the state capitol looked through my bag and said "Sure, go ahead and take pictures in here."
Sorry about the rant. It proves the adage:
"Where the people fear the government, there is tyrrany. Where the government fears the people, there is freedom."
Amen. Thing is we have been raised to fear government. Doctors are gods, not to be questioned. It is sad really. I hope the upcoming generations have their eyes wide open.
