Views from the observation deck

Sunday, May 27 - The views from the observation deck on the 27th floor of the State Capitol were pretty striking:

North: The petrochemical factories in the distance almost look like an alien skyline.  

West and Southwest:  The Mississippi River.

South: The Capitol Gardens with Huey Long's statue and grave, 

downtown Baton Rouge, and LSU in the distance.

East: Formal rose gardens.
