Yesterday, I went downtown to shoot architecture and street shots, and had a really great day. This is inside the Vancouver Public Library. It was designed by Moshe Safdie and was built to resemble the Colosseum in Rome. It is one of most photographed buildings in Vancouver and has so many wonderful nooks and crannies. If you are interested in reading more about the building, here is a link: www.greenroofs.com/projects/vancouver-public-library-libr...
I will be posting more shots from yesterday intersperced with my "usual."
Zoom in and take a look around :)

British museum, London
The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, commonly referred to simply as the Great Court, is the covered central quadrangle of the British Museum in London. It was redeveloped during the late 1990s to a design by Foster and Partners, from a 1970s design by Colin St John Wilson.[1] The court was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.
The court has a tessellated glass roof, engineered by Buro Happold[2] and built by Waagner-Biro,[3] covering the entire court, and surrounds the original circular British Museum Reading Room in the centre, now a museum. It is the largest covered square in Europe.[4] The glass and steel roof is made up of 4,878 unique steel members connected at 1,566 unique nodes and 1,656 pairs of glass windowpanes making up 6,100 m2 of glazing;[5] each of a unique shape because of the undulating nature of the roof.

… the main hall in St Pancras feels empty, almost soulless in lockdown, but the purity of its architecture stands out even more.
