Politicians of both parties have largely flocked to social media sites in reaching out to constituents and gain more support, but until recently, few have ventured into the world of Instagram.

Both Republicans and Democrats in local and national politics have started to embrace the social networking site, and they are posting some spectacular photos from within the halls of power.
The official account of the Senate GOP sent out this photo of the Capitol halls on Feb. 22, 2013, which was painted by Constantino Brumidi in the mid-1800s.
