Baton Rouge’s Skyscraper Capitol: Print Wall Art Louisiana State Capitol Gleaming in Clear Skies Historical Aluminum/Acrylic/Metal/Canvas

When traveling the country, we love to tour the state capitals. Visiting Lousisiana’s cajun country, we wanted to make the short drive to see the capital of Lousisiana, Baton Rouge. While you may have images in your mind of a classic domed building, only about 40 states have a dome in their capital. The second most kind of building is called a “Skyscraper.” In addition to Louisiana, the other states with a non-dome skyscraper design are North Dakota, Nebraska, and Florida.

Baton Rouge’s brilliance was beaming from its towering structure. The Louisiana State Capitol gleaming in clear skies, was clearly up there in front of me. So when I raised my camera, I knew I was photographing a piece of history.

This architectural marvel stands at 450 feet tall. And while it’s the tallest state capitol in the U.S., there’s much more to appreciate here. The stories of the state's past whisper from its limestone facade etched with intricate detail. The statues flanking the entrance look after Louisiana's legacy, inviting passersby to take a closer look. How often do we take the time to ponder the importance of the places that are silent around us?

I waited until the clouds parted, framing the Capitol in an open sky. Nature itself began to unfurl the backdrop for the grandeur of the structure. I clicked the shutter and captured the story the capitol is telling silently. The history submerged in its stones, and the strength reflected in its towering stance.

I looked at the shot and could feel the power of the scene coming through the lens. The Louisiana State Capitol represents the state’s journey and the people’s unwavering spirit. It stands not just to be seen, but to remind us to look up, and to embrace what towers above us.

I stepped back to take in the full view and realized this wasn’t just another photo for the collection, it was really a reminder of how places can represent a region. Not only for beauty, the Louisiana State Capitol, with its unmatched Baton Rouge brilliance, shone in the clear skies. It was a beacon of the past, present and the future. Most importantly, it invites everyone to look up and appreciate the connections it represents. It invited people to wonder what stories will be scratched out of its facade.
