Cap City Skyline Stash

Whether they call it Cowtown or Cbus, Columbus still shines as our one and only Cap City. Plunging into the heart of downtown, we set off to find the Skyline Stash promised by gs886.

Glass, metal, cement and asphalt envelope us in a forest of design. Ads for lawyers, cancer experts and vodka reflect today’s worry list.

Over the murmur of traffic and construction, church bells toll the quarter hour.

Our geotrail leads us into the Statehouse. Pinks and purples blend as hibiscus nods to towering neighbors.

Don’t forget to salute the flag.

Pillars, both marble and invisible, hold together the intricate processes which run our state. Informative signs name these pillars: knowledge, participation, justice, inalienable rights, liberty, tolerance, equality.

House and Senate bring together those to whom the pillars are entrusted.

Supreme Court judges the conflicts that liberty and justice will bring.

In the office of the governor rests statewide leadership for the pillars.

Gs386 has led us on quite a trail, and we are grateful. Wait, what? Did you sign the log? I didn’t. Where was it? OK, we got distracted.

Out the back door of the Statehouse, across the Great Seal, with encouragement from our state motto.

Up and up and out of the parking garage. Cap City Skyline bursts upon us. Where to start looking??

Hopefully not down.

Below us spread the buildings which are busy with the activities of the pillars. Government. Business. Faith. And the media. Carry on.

Muggle guy next door is getting a little concerned.

Fortunately our impersonation of HVAC inspectors works, and we sign off on our inspection. Time to take a long lunch.
