22nd Oct 2012 Harrisburg Capitol

A busy day of briefings today on Pennsylvanian agriculture was broken up by a visit to the Harrisburg Capitol building over lunch. This is the parliament house for Pennsylvania. Having visited a lot of awesome buildings over the last few weeks, nothing could have prepared us for this. The amazing architecture and art of this place was simply stunning. If you are ever within 300km of Harrisburg it is well worth the detour to go and see. It is said that the value of the building is price less, and when you are looking through it you can see why. In our usual Nuffield style we had a guided tour at a hectic pace. I could easily have spent the whole afternoon soaking in the beauty of this place. Simply, awe-inspiring. I have included a few photos, but no picture can ever really do it justice.
