The World's Most Beautiful Places
The dome of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver with a golden roof and intricate architectural details rises against a clear blue sky. Autumnal foliage partly obscures the structure, adding a contrast of warm colors to the cool-toned building.
The Capitol Building was constructed in 1894 and has been designated a National Historic Landmark. It includes the offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the General Assembly.
A view of a the Anderson County Courthouse in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The statue in the foreground is of a Confederate soldier, built in 1894, and erected by Kentucky Women’s Monumental Association, a predecessor of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The two story courthouse was constructed between 1860-61 of Kentucky River rock, and limestone, and substantially rebuilt following a fire in 1915. The building houses the County Circuit Court and County District Court of the 53rd Judicial District.
A view of the Kentucky State Seal on the gate at the governor’s mansion, in Frankfort, next to the state capitol building. The state seal represents the coming together of the frontiersman, the every day Kentuckian, with the statesman who serves the state of Kentucky and helps guide it into the future. The state’s motto is one that is very familiar to many in the United States “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” It was derived at the time however from a popular 1768 tune entitled the “Liberty Song,” by John Dickinson.
