The maiden voyage: This well-known view from the upper floor of the south wing over the Great Court is actually the first 16 mm focal length photo I've ever taken - making use of my new super wide angle zoom lens.
British Museum, London.
"The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court is a covered square at the centre of the British Museum designed by the engineers Buro Happold and the architects Foster and Partners. The Great Court opened in December 2000 and is the largest covered square in Europe. The roof is a glass and steel construction, built by an Austrian steelwork company, with 1,656 uniquely shaped panes of glass. At the centre of the Great Court is the Reading Room vacated by the British Library, its functions now moved to St Pancras. The Reading Room is open to any member of the public who wishes to read there."
