FULL MOON RISES BEHIND US CAPITOL DOME
A full moon silhouettes the Statue of Freedom atop the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. March 6, 2004. Made of cast iron, the U.S. Capitol dome is actually two domes; the exterior is a thin shell supported by a ring of 36 curved iron ribs, and underneath is a smaller interior dome, open at the top. The Statue of Freedom, standing at 19 feet, six inches tall, is the crowning feature of the building. PHOTO TAKEN MARCH 6.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of a full moon rising behind the iconic U. S. Capitol Dome in Washington, D. C. The silhouette of the majestic Statue of Freedom atop the dome adds an awe-inspiring touch to this mesmerizing scene. Taken on March 6,2004, by talented photographer Gary Cameron, this image showcases not only the architectural marvel that is the U. S. Capitol but also highlights its intricate construction. The U. S. Capitol Dome, made entirely of cast iron, boasts a unique design consisting of two domes: an exterior thin shell supported by a ring of curved iron ribs and an interior smaller dome that remains open at its peak. This engineering feat adds depth and complexity to this historic structure. Standing tall at an impressive height of 19 feet and six inches, the Statue of Freedom stands as a symbol representing liberty and democracy for all Americans. Its commanding presence crowns the U. S. Capitol building with grace and dignity. Gary Cameron's skillful composition perfectly captures both natural beauty and human achievement in one frame. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this remarkable image from Reuters Images, viewers can appreciate every detail without any commercial constraints.
