Colorado State Capitol Building Denver CO

Built in the 1890's, the Colorado State Capitol building with its large pillars is composed of Colorado white granite. It is a key feature in the Denver skyline because of its bell-shaped dome, plated with 200 ounces of 24 karat gold. The gold plated dome commemorates Colorado's Gold Rush days and the early pioneers and miners who helped build this great state.
The inside of the capitol building is a cacophony of brilliant brass and stained glass, but the really priceless building material used inside is Colorado Rose onyx, commonly called Beulah Red Marble, a rare stone found near Beulah, Colo. The entire world's supply of Colorado Rose onyx went into the Capitol. It cannot be replaced - not at any price.
Denver, also called 'Mile High City', really is exactly one mile high. The exact elevation of 5,280 feet (1 mile) above sea level is maked by a round brass cap embedded in the western entrance stairs of the State Capitol.
The Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful state capitol buildings in the United States. If you get the chance, head up to the observation deck and enjoy a spectacular view of Denver and the Rocky Mountains in the distance. State law prohibits building any structure that would block the view of the Rockies from the State Capitol.

Headless Horseman

The legend of the Headless Horseman begins in Sleepy Hollow, a real community located near North Tarrytown, New York. The area is full of ghost stories including the one about the Headless Horseman, a dark and shadowy figure.
Its said that even in modern times the Headless Horseman rides, frightening motorists along Canton's rural roads causing fear-based heart attacks or a startled driver to veer into a ditch to avoid hitting the frantic phantom. Survivors say that the beams of their car's headlights shone right through horse and rider, making them almost invisible, until, suddenly, car and horseman seemed about to collide.

The Scream

Relief (from Italian, rilievare: to raise) is a sculptural technique. This technique is quite ancient, and it has been used independently in many cultures from Mesoamerica to India. It is believed to have pre-dated sculpture, as it is easier to create than a free-standing full-figure.
Contemporary neo-classical reliefs can be found on the façades and in interiors of numerous buildings in many nations of the world. Many are in classical Roman or Greek style while others reflect a more natural approach to form, even some in an unfinished style reminiscent of Michelangelo's later sculptures.
Many beautiful relief sculptures can be found on front façades on the most beautiful burgher houses in Munich, Germany.
The face in this photograph so sad - it hurts to look at it. It screams a sculpted language we can never hear ...
