Given how much world media the US presidential election is getting I thought I would post one of Capitol Hill from a few weeks back. The United States Capitol is the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. Located on the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C it sits across what is known Capitol Hill. Construction started in 1793, with the first session of congress being held in 1800. It was subsequently burnt down by the British in the war of 1812, with rebuilding ongoing until 1826. The original more modest dome was replaced with the current iconic version in renovations which were completed in 1863.
Sunset at at Providence Canyon in Southern Georgia. The canyon formation, made up of a kaleidoscope of coloured sands and clays, owes its existence to destructive early farming practices in the 19th century as is was unknown at the time that the undulating hills were made up of deep sand deposits below a very thin crust of clayey topsoil. Once the topsoil had been disturbed the natural elements did the rest with the canyon progressively deepening over the subsequent 150 years. The dramatic pinnacles which remain are sections of clay which the sand has eroded around. The erosion gullies reach depths of 150 feet (or 46m) and are referred to by the locals as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia, United States of America.
