Ken Leslie's Gold Dome Cycle

Stuck in Vermont 275

7/16/12: For the past year, artist Ken Leslie has been visiting the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier every other week to work on his Gold Dome Cycle. 

He climbs 201 stairs to its highest point, above the golden dome and below Ceres' feet, and paints one section of the view into the pages of his circular book. 

The finished work will show a 360-degree panorama of Montpelier made in 365 days. Eva visits with Ken in the "drum of the dome" and watches the final page come to life.

Music: La Strada, New Home,"Mean That Much"
