Description
The grand spiral staircase dominates the first two floors in the rotunda of the Old State Capitol building in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The parquet tile floors add a welcome linear and monochromatic break in this otherwise vividly colored and decorated interior. Paintings of previous governors and other prominent figures in Louisiana history adorn the walls.
This is an HDR composite of three bracketed photos, taken from the second floor balcony using a fisheye lens. I previously posted a related photo of the stained glass dome overlying this scene, which was taken from the lower portion of the staircase.
