Hail Columbia...aka the goddess standing on top of our capitol building in DC...
The dome is topped with a 20-foot statue of a woman holding a sword and a laurel wreath, known as Freedom Triumphant in War and Peace, or sometimes, Armed Freedom.See here for more info...

Beautiful statue, she is a great symbol of freedom. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am so glad she's there!
DeleteTry explaining her to the so called religious right.
ReplyDeleteThey know of Greek and Roman mythology. It's part of the architecture, like Corinthian columns rather than Ionic or Doric columns.
Delete...I wonder if they ever look up?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter...I figure her being there is chaneling the mythical vibes of freedom to each one of them. That's the new-agey answer. The other is that is a lot of weight, as well as an iron dome...of course it attracts various magnetic energies from the atmosphere!
DeleteThat is so beautiful in all ways. (NewRobin13)
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. I've been proud to call her Columbia for years...though Freedom isn't all that bad a name!
