I loved the interior lighting with the cloud reflections all over the shot. This may be a bit too busy ...
The Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building (1897) is one of the lesser-known architectural treasures of Washington. Rich mosaic work adorns the ceilings and walls, including a large mosaic of Minerva seen between the columns. I did not know what to snap first but the intersecting lines and curves in this image intrigued me. Explore #416, July 17, 2008.
"Le Château de Chantilly abrite l’une des plus riches bibliothèques de France. Les trésors accumulés par les différents propriétaires de Chantilly ont été complétés et magnifiés avec passion par le duc d’Aumale, qui fut le plus grand bibliophile de son temps.
