Heavenly Concurrence
In a composite photo comprised of 6 separate photos, five of the moon and one of the U.S. Capitol, the moon is seen transitioning L to R from full to a state of full lunar eclipse in the evening sky over Washington, October 27, 2004. The picture of the Capitol was taken with a 200mm lens looking east and the photos of the moon were taken with a 400mm lens also looking east as it passed over the U.S. Capitol moving from north to south.

~Isn't it obvious that heaven itself is in harmony with our Capitol?
I'm creeped out when politicians and celebrities publically praise their deities as the source of their good fortune (where's mine?) but I get a thrill when I find images of structures that attempt to make a cosmic connection. You'ld be surprised at the number of ornaments and art-work in otherwise innocuous public buildings that reflect the cosmos. If such a connection wasn't so unquestionably (unconsciously) accepted, the hubris might be touching. (Awww. The moon and stars revolve around your county's courthouse.)
