i took this from the same government building as this city vista. in fact that photo was taken from the top, right hand ledge. after that we went inside the central dome type structure and climbed a creaky, windy staircase up to the flagpole. with cameras hanging around our necks, we definitely didn't look like we belonged there, but no one gave us any hassle. i think that was because we acted like we were supposed to be there - which seems to go a long way in fooling people. perhaps a risky strategy as there were guards who had guns with swords on the end at the entrance - but it was worth the exploration.

here's the original
