In Minnesota we are privileged to have one of the most expensive state capitols ever built, a structure created in the 1890's with more marble than I have seen in numerous Roman palaces (this is not an exaggeration). As I need something to push the ugly technical post below down the page, in order to reassure my literary and photography-minded readers, here are the golden horses atop the capitol. Yes, they are gold-plated. Yes, you can go see them by taking the Capitol tour. No, I don't advise going on top of the Capitol roof in January in Minnesota.
