Because there is no lighting, not even of the natural sort, it is sort of tough to get a clear picture. The under-dome is quite unique and beautiful. What it lacks in bright colors it makes up for in geometric design, form and structure. The center part is bronze and the surrounding 'patches' are of North Carolina granite. There are granite concentric circles each with rectangular patterns within each form.
