Canada Pavilion | Epcot World Showcase

Canada is one of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase within Epcot at Walt Disney World in Florida. Featuring totem poles, lumberjacks, and a mountain waterfall, nature plays a large role in the overall theme of the pavilion.

Montana State Capitol in Helena

Constructed between 1896 and 1902, the Montana State Capitol in Helena, Montana is a beautiful landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. I explored the structure in late November, and in addition to admiring the incredible architecture and artwork, I was pleased to see a giant Christmas tree standing in the capitol's rotunda.
