I thought this painting was spectacular. It's on the ceiling in the Utah State Senate Chamber.
The Utah Supreme Court used to meet in this room. During the tour it was explained where the phrase, "pass the bar" came from. Here's photographic evidence that I passed the bar myself!
Judge not that ye be not judged! But it's OK to pretend you're a judge and sneak a picture when the tour guide leaves you unattended.
Ladies and gentlemen...this is what we Utahns call an Inversion. A layer of smog and crap gets trapped directly above us. And then right above that is clear blue sky. Or in this case, a patch of blue sky, mountains and clouds. Click on this picture and take a good look at that layer of smog. But don't breathe in too deep.

I have wanted to tour the capitol building since it's restoration. I love looking at old buildings -- I'm kind of a nerd that way. It's nice to know you are a nerd too! :D
