Des Moines: Vacation Procrastination

I went to Des Moines.
Because I am still on vacation.
This is a vacation!

It's a beautiful capitol.
All maizey and golden and shiny.

With drooling livestock fountains.

And cannons!



And hey, there's Lincoln and Tad!
What do you mean, "Who's Tad?"!?
He's Tad from Tad's Steaks in New York City.

That makes sense!
I am still on vacation!
I am still on vacation!
I AM STILL ON VACATION!


Look at that lamp post light pole thing!
Doesn't it look cool next to the capitol?
Did I mention how maizey and golden the capitol is?
Vacation's all I ever wanted!


Oooh!
What's that way over there?
Past the trees!
It's like a dancing woman or something!

Yeah!
Didn't Fame take place here?
Look at me!
I'm still vacationing!


Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm going to start getting all artistic with my girlfriend's point and shoot camera!


Ooohh!
Look at how the like, flag is all angled against the goldenness of the dome!  And how it reflects.

Oh snap!
Look at what happens when you just focus on like the architecture of it all.  The way the angles and with the windows!  
Contrast!
Saturation!
Sepia!


Hey and over here look!
The ground has all the counties on it!
Look!  Look!
There's Johnson County!
And Webster County!
And Humboldt County!
I'M TAKING PICTURES OF THE GROUND!
I AM STILL ON VACATION!
I AM STILL ON VACATION!!

  1. When you're married you vacation together. And then your girlfriend uses her own point and shoot camera, only she's called your wife, and when she doesn't hand you the camera you say, "we're supposed to share EQUALLY!!!" and sulk all the way back to Chicago.
