Kerry Bowers snapped these photos outside our Capitol last week. Bowers works as a technology reference librarian at the Rawlins Municipal Library in Pierre. “I get some great sunsets from my vantage point there,” Bowers says. Her interest in photography goes back as far as she can recall. “This was also a hobby of my Dad’s and I remember watching him develop photos with his darkroom equipment in our basement.” View more of Bower’s photos at her Flickr site.
