Protest at The State House

Brr!  A chilly, wintery day in Boston.  We woke up to snow, but now it's sunny and very windy and cold!

Walking the dogs on the Common, we came across this small anti-Trump protest outside the State House.  It was all very well mannered and civilized.  I thought the golden dome looked especially beautiful under that cerulean sky.

Here are some interesting facts about that dome from CBS Boston:  " The gilded dome that is visible atop the building today was originally made of wood. It leaked. But in 1802, Paul Revere’s company covered it with copper. The dome was eventually painted a light yellow before being gilded with gold leaf in 1874. During World War II the building was painted black as a way to prevent reflections during blackouts and to protect the city from potential aerial bombings. It was gilded again in 1997 in 23k gold."
