The scaffolded US Capitol is seen overlooking an official marker (bottom) looking West, the camera moved to create highlight streaks, October 28, 2014 in Washington, DC. The US Capitol dome is undergoing its first comprehensive repairs in more than half a century a century. The two-year, USD 60 million project is aimed at repairing nearly 1,300 cracks that have emerged in the nine-million-pound (4.1-million-kilogram) cast iron dome, according to the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) office. Construction on the dome began in 1855. Work symbolically continued through the US Civil War and the structure was eventually completed in 1866. AFP Photo/Paul J. Richards (Photo by Paul J.
