People on line to enter chambers on the second day of Legislative Day at the Texas State Capitol Building in Austin, Texas. 

I took this image with my cell phone's pano function.  I've never tried that before and someone I was talking with showed me a photo she took, so of course, I had to try it.  The pano function elongated the roundness of the floor we were on.  I just think it's so interesting.
