It’s happening! The sun is once again shining on the north facade of the Capitol. Below you can see the sun gracing the relief sculpture above the main entrance to the Capitol. Peaking above you can see Abraham Lincoln and Pentaur lit by the morning sun. Mornings and evenings for the next few weeks will be good times to photograph the Capitol’s north side. The raking light brings the usually uniformly lit front of the Capitol to life.
