Wowsers! This building was awesome! It had so many nice contrasts, it was so ornately decorated, and it was just full of detail and splendor. One pattern I've noticed on this trip is that all capitols built in the early 20th century were very overdone and sometimes a bit gaudy. This one was no exception minus the gaudy. It was a really cool building with all sorts of great and wonderful details! Also a great view from around the top. I had no idea Madison was surrounded by lakes!
