Description
National Statuary Hall is a chamber in the United States Capitol devoted to sculptures of prominent Americans. The hall, also known as the Old Hall of the House, is a large, two-story, semicircular room with a second story gallery along the curved perimeter. It is located immediately south of the Rotunda. The meeting place of the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly 50 years (1807-1857), it is now the main exhibition space for the National Statuary Hall Collection.
Today, Statuary Hall is one of the most visited rooms in the Capitol. It is visited by hundreds of tourists each day and continues to be used for ceremonial occasions. Special events held in the room include activities honoring foreign dignitaries and every four years Congress hosts a newly inaugurated President of the United States for a luncheon.
Here we see the statute honoring President Ronald Regan.

Nice work! I always like to see Vertical images, not enough people take them or even enough of them by the people who do ( myself included )!

Thanks Bob. I usually let the subject dictate which way to go and this one screamed vertical.
