Gold Pyramid House

Located in Wadsworth, Illinois, the Pyramid House is a unique oddity in the midwest. I was given permission to come photograph the giant statue of Ramses, and the Golden Pyramid. Apparently, this house was gold plated with 24 Karat gold at one time, but he was required to change it so it wasn't so shiny. There is a replica of King Tutankhamun's tomb with artifacts and sarcophagus. The Gold Pyramid house is owned by Jim Onan, and their website is http://www.goldpyramid.com. Many of these images were captured by hanging a camera from a kite and lofting it in the air to capture aerial photos.
