Een gesloten boek verbergt z’n geheimen en soms verwijzen we naar een ondoorgrondelijk persoon as een gesloten boek. Een open boek is daarentegen het tegenovergestelde, bereid om al z’n kennis en informatie bloot te geven.
In de schilderkunst verwijst een gesloten boek naar de geleerdheid en kennis van de persoon die het boek vasthoudt. Een open boek daarentegen symboliseert juist de inhoud van het boek en de kennis die het boek zelf bevat.
The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.

Knowledge, like water, is vital to life. In this work, a continuous stream of water connects the two figures. The water is symbolic of the passing of knowledge from generation to generation.This embodies the Rotarians' hope that the values cultivated by the 4-Way test will continue to be a guiding principle in human relations in our future generations.
4-Way Test
of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to All CONCERNED?
3. Will it Build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?

Lovely place to visit. Have been before but this part was locked...Really worth a visit if you're in the area - extremely peaceful inside...

The following words have been taken from the English Heritage website...
This small Augustinian priory was founded by Roger FitzOsbert in about 1216. It is dedicated to Olaf, the 11th-century king and patron saint of Norway whose stark Christian message was ‘baptism or death’.
An inventory taken in 1536 records little of value and the priory was probably already in decline when it was suppressed a year later. In 1547 Sir Henry Jerningham converted the buildings to the north of the cloister into a private house, but little of this survived when the priory was dismantled in 1784.
Around 1825 the floor of the refectory undercroft was raised and the building was converted into a cottage which was occupied until 1902.
The hidden gem in this unassuming ruin is its 14th-century refectory undercroft. Its vaulted brick ceiling is an important early example of the use of brick in England. Supported on Purbeck marble columns, it is still almost complete and retains much of its original plasterwork.
The only parts of the church to survive are a stretch of the south aisle, the west wall and parts of the north wall. The foundations of some of the brick-faced piers that supported the cloister arcade are visible, but nothing remains of the west range except the flintwork cloister wall, which is pierced near the north end by a 14th-century doorway.
At the back of the refectory is a fragment of Jerningham’s 16th-century house that escaped destruction, which includes a reused 14th-century doorway.

This is a photo of the National Library of Australia. It is the largest reference Library in Australia with over 6,496,772 items held. It is a public library with reading rooms, treasures gallery, changing exhibitions, a bookshop and a café. The library collects, preserves and shares Australia's documentary heritage. The fountains are in a way symbolic because there is a saying that books are the fountain of knowledge.

Welcome to The Long Room, which can be found in Trinity College Dublin. It’s the main chamber of the Old Library and is a lot longer than you see in this image here, which is about one third of the total length of the room.
It’s a beautiful looking room and very photogenic. However, as with many things of this nature, it’s also pretty busy with more than just us photographers wanting to have a look. I would certainly recommend getting there very early in the day and attempting to be the first one up there if you wish to take photos without any people in them.
I have been in several libraries to take photos, and it continues to amaze me how awe inspiring some of them can be. I’m a fan of things like the Kindle but do hope books never disappear.

This is the last picture that I shot during my London workshops, and it was in collaboration with Jen Brook, a passionate model who is asking photographers to turn her dreams into reality with her Dreamcatcher Project.
