Arkansas State Capitol Building

The Capitol Building stands 230 feet tall featuring a circular central drum tower that is capped with a dome and cupola. The building was built over a century ago as a replica of the US Capitol and has been used in many movies as a stand in. The construction started in 1899 with George Mann and ended in 1915 with Cass Gilbert. Located on the grounds are several monuments including monuments to veterans, police, Confederate soldiers, Confederate women and a Confederate war prisoners marker.

Here are just a few shots i got at night but I am planning a day shoot there this week, images to follow in another post.

Sundown over the marina

The colors in the sky as the sun was going down over the lake and the marina in Hot Springs Village, AR were just amazing over the holiday weekend. I don't think i have ever seen it this way before.

A Fun 4th. of July Weekend

This year the 4th. of July fell on a Monday and we always spend the entire weekend at my wife's families marina,  a nice highlight to the much needed time off was that my brother and my niece got to come down for a visit. We haven't seen them since last year and it was great having them here, we took the kids out to the lake for some swimming, tubing and grilling. Of course I had the camera out and got some really cool shots...


My niece is fearless, she must have jumped off that boat about fifty times in less than an hour...






They had blast on the tube, I lost count of how many laps we took around the lake...


And finally, it's time to just chill and catch some sun... we are wore out!
