Early morning during sunrise at the State Capitol of Kansas in the city of Topeka. I loved the quietness of the hour before anyone had arrived for work. Such perfect weather with a slight warm summer breeze bringing in bright pink cloud tones to reflect the rising sun.

Part of my State Capitol series. It is my intent to bring attention to the beauty of these buildings and the sincere and good people who work in them.

Over the months before the upcoming election, I have been making stops by each State Capitol along the way as I travel for work across the US. I am totally fascinated by the history, architecture and amazing heritage behind every State house and so honored to meet the people and hear the stories of their experiences. It is truly an honor to visit each Capitol and to see the beautiful side of things instead of just all the negative we hear on the news!

I plan on launching my travel photo blog/ website that will have my stories, photos and interviews very soon.
