It rained while I was in San Francisco (surprise, surprise), so I spent a day shooting the interiors of the city. Since I’ve recently toured the Capitol in DC (seen here and here), I thought it would be fun to compare it to San Francisco’s City Hall.

Fun Fact: This is the largest dome in the United States. It even beats the US Capitol building.

One thing that I really like about City Hall is the fact that it is open to the public. People are free to walk almost anywhere, without being escorted. I even saw a wedding take place which was a sweet surprise.

When I was in college, one my favorite classes was architectural art history. I learned about everything from european churches to ancient homes and since then, I’ve really grown an appreciation for beautiful architecture. Union Station is not only a train station, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in DC.

Here’s a picture I never got around to posting before. Its from one of the first time’s I had out to DC for some night shots.

I had no idea there were going to be some many people out. (I’m used to shooting a lot earlier in the morning.) In a weird way, it was a blessing. If so many people hadn’t been out, taking tourist pictures, sitting on the steps, and chatting with their friends, I would have never walked along the sides of the building. I found a little bit of peace stepping away from all the people and took this shot.

Looking up at the columns of the Lincoln Memorial is pretty amazing. You start thinking about who built the building and all the history behind it. It’s a pretty cool place to just sit back and appreciate history.
