The best part of this for me was hanging over the ledge on the top of the capitol; I never liked shooting from the observation deck because of the reflections in the windows, but this time I got to go on the actual roof and get some pics in all directions.

One of the TV guys taping next to me said that they were five minutes early, according to his cellular phone. I’d agree with that; I thought I had plenty of time as I rode up the elevator. As I climbed the ladder to the roof and came around the corner, though, things got to an immediate start. It was nice for them to wait for me, at least!<\/p>\n

I talked to a lady later who said that she never heard a cue to start, people just started making their angels. I guess that must be how things got going, but in any case the record would appear to be North Dakota’s…again.<\/p>\n
