Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey
I couldn't resist sharing more photos of the State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge. Even though I just posted a bunch of images last December, I'm enamored with our capitol and had to capture it again on my latest visit. I love strolling through the adjacent park - it's truly one of my favorite spots in Louisiana. As I wander the grass and trees, I can't help but gaze up at the grand building and wonder about the conversations and legislation happening within those walls. Sadly, not much impactful work seems to get done these days, but that's a discussion for another time.
On this trip, I stopped to admire the front of the capitol, with its magnificent steps and grand statues. I also made sure to visit the grave of the infamous Huey P. Long, whose Stalinist-looking memorial statue always catches my eye. Despite his controversial legacy, there's no denying that Long fought hard to modernize Louisiana and provide for its people.
I hope these new photos evoke the same sense of wonder and appreciation that I feel when I'm there. The State Capitol is truly an architectural and historical gem, and I'm grateful to have it right in my own state.
