Another colourful sunset over the Lake at Benalla looking towards the Library along the foreshore.
I thought this was an apt title since this book is a stolen library book, which I only realized when I went to shoot with it. I felt terrible! My blog has more on creating the image + detail shots

When I went out shooting for this picture I was carrying my equipment on my back as usual - camera, tripod, a cloak - and then I fell down a hill. It was quite funny, as I don't think I've fallen and actually rolled down a hill before. I came away with some bruises and scratches, but it was so worth it. I love laughing at myself sometimes. I am eternally clumsy :)
Repository for those papery things with words innit. Soon to be closed I reckon to help the council pay for 'other things'.
Anywise, this was a late afternoon grab shot in the current foggy gloom.

The first time I photographed the interior library was very easy. But now you need a permission

ODC-Library
This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila. The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978.
I went down to the city yesterday to check out the new Metro Stations. After spending a huge amount of money the 5 stations are now open with the trains running on a 10am - 5pm timetable while they ease the new stops into the timetable. The stations are large, orange decorated and clean. The platforms use automatic doors and floor to ceiling screens to stop customers from jumping onto the tracks as well as reducing the wind draft into the station (more energy efficient!). At the moment the helpful Metro staff are rostered on to help customers navigate the new system and linkages to the old Metro stations Flinders Street and Melbourne Central.
While the platforms have these orange trims, the entrances to the stations are of differing colours and structures.
The State Library Station is 43m or so underground with steep escalators. bigbuild.vic.gov.au/use-metro-tunnel/stations and transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-resources/projects/metro-tu...
Visited the Central Library and this is from the front balcony. The sun was shinning. People were taking the opportunity to be in the warmth of the sun's rays.
Yesterday my sister and I visited our cousin in West Vancouver. He has Alzheimer's disease and lives in the Maison Senior Living - Memory Care. The place was beautiful and he seemed genuinely happy there.
May I suggest enlarging the picture to see the activities of people using the library area.
