We had an abbreviated third day in Indiana, so I elected to stay in Indianapolis instead of driving 2 hours to someplace a bit more my style only to have to leave an hour or so later. It was a quiet Sunday morning (the Pacers had beaten the Celtics the night before and the New England Patriots were in town for a Colts game — within a few hours it seemed like everyone was wearing a Colts jersey). I wandered around the center of Indianapolis and looked for some interesting architecture shots. The light was pretty unspecial, so perhaps I shouldn’t bother with these – but I rather liked some of the monuments and classic buildings they had scattered in the center of downtown.
The reason we were in town was Betsy was attending the Girl Scout National Convention. Walking around the area, there was little doubt something was going on.
A large monument, erected in 1889, dedicated to fallen soldiers and sailors is the focal point of Indiana’s capital city. It’s quite a sight at night.
Back when entrances said something…
And, perhaps, one of the more ornately carved buildings I’ve seen…
