The medieval castle in Baton Rouge
This is the old state capitol building in Baton Rouge, LA. It sits on a bluff overlooking the mighty Mississippi River and is now the Museum of Political History. I was in town on business and had a little extra time to shoot (which is always nice). I was down in this area looking for the site of my meetings for the next day, and once I saw this I knew I wanted to stop and get a closer look. It is pretty impressive. I have been to Baton Rouge many times, having family there and all, and never remember seeing this before. The metal sculpture you see going across the lawn is a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC.
