The original Arizona State Capitol building was finished in 1901 and once housed all three branches of state government. It's now known as the Arizona Capitol Museum, but most Phoenicians still call it the capitol building.

I spent the morning driving around downtown just after sunrise looking for cool places to photograph. I had never been to the capitol building before and figured it was worth a visit. It was a beautiful cool spring morning, the grass was still wet and all I could hear was the clanking of flag polls behind me. As I stood there, a light breeze came and turned the windvane on the rotunda almost directly pointing toward me. I considered myself lucky to catch it at that angle.
