If you travel down Capital Avenue near downtown, it’s easy to forget that the Hoosier Dome was ever there at all. The building that was so much a part of the downtown landscape and sports history has vanished. That was part of the deal put together to build Lucas Oil Stadium. By the way, I like it’s nickname ‘The Luke’. Has a bit more swagger don’t you think? Like it’s ‘one
This being the day before Christmas, I thought this photo would be appropriate. The tree this year that gets the honor of standing in the Capital Rotunda is a 23 year old, 25 ft. Concolor Fir. It was grown in a tree farm in northern Indiana, cut and brought to the Capital building earlier this month.

I was driving around downtown looking for a parking spot and happened to stop at a traffic signal on east Market Street at Alabama. I was the only car at the light facing west…and there was my camera lying on the passenger seat…and I just happened to be staring at one of my favorite photo subjects, dead center, a couple blocks up.
