To me, it's a big waste of gold. Atlanta has a dome like that, as does the capitol building in Charleston, West Virginia. West Virginia of all places! I guess the gold dome must stand for something - a sign of power and wealth?? Eh ~ beats me.

I wonder how different history might have been, had Queen Mary married Henry the VIII's son, Edward VI. History is full of 'what if's'. What if the Russian Army had accepted Napoleon into its ranks? What if Hitler had been accepted to the art school he wanted to attendl? Kind of boggles the mind.

Viaduct somehow got stuck in my mind as having to carry water, but now I'm firmly resolved to understand it's the series of arches no matter what they carry, and railroads are just fine as viaducts too. Thanks! (Incidentally, I wonder if a single state capital in the US doesn't have a dome!)Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.com
