Des Moines is the capital of Iowa. I have been there at least a dozen times over the past forty years. Even worked for a company that had a branch office there and visited it once. This is the same company that had an office in Fargo.

However, I never took the time to get a photograph of the state capitol building. And one (of several) things I strive to do on my travels is photograph the state capitol buildings. So, since Des Moines was a good place to stop for lunch and refuel the car, might as well take that photo.
