📸 Arizona Capital Building in Phoenix & Sculptures - 6 Pics Collected

The Arizona capital building is located in Phoenix. it's a unique combination of both the traditional classical architecture style we see across the country but also utilizes the materials and color styles prominent in the southwest.

While I didn't go into the building, there are more pictures of the grounds located within the park in front of it. Look for those posts soon.

In the park in front of the entrance to the Arizona capital building, there are a number of permanent art installations. Many of them are related to branches of military and the people that served.

However, there is also a rendering of the Bill of Rights in stone. Here is the introduction and the 1st Amendment in stone for visitors to read, learn and become better acquainted with the inalienable rights.

History and values are tangible concepts that we interact with regularly.

Work isn't money, it's building things that help stabilize a society. Focus on making efforts to do that and find out how positive culture is made.

This peace officers memorial had wreathes laid around the base of the platform for the figure. This picture, along with most of the others I take while traveling are captured with my Canon Rebel. It's nothing special but I've been running around with it for about 10 years.

I'm fairly certain this sculpture was in recognition of those that served in the Vietnam War. It was important to find an angle to capture the expressions on the three soldiers faces in this because it felt as if the artist had really focused on their faces.

The motion is perceptible too, it's like the man on the right is actually moving to the right and will either pull up the man his is holding on to or slip off and attempt to get to a more secure location.
