Stanford University campus.
One of the two entrances to Green library. This is the "Bing Wing," which is usually used to run exhibits. The current exhibit shows some of the documents of the founding fathers, including a couple of (early) versions of John Hancock's signature.
Got a little sloppy with this photo, too - I was concentrating so much on the bench and the roof tops that I missed seeing the branch right in front of me was obstructing too much of the building. After uploading to flickr, I was thinking of deleting it, but in the end, decided to leave it in as part of the set, and as a reminder to myself to replace it with a better shot one of these days.

For information about using this Leica lens with Nikon cameras, please see this link. I have also created a new set called Leica 19mm Elmarit-R, to which I will keep adding new photos taken with this lens that I upload to flickr.
Hazel and I went to the community library for story time while she visited this weekend. She was the only one in attendance. Heard a fun story and did a craft. We love libraries!
The results of my first attempt at crossprossed film. Hence the green color (I used fuji sensia 200).
Popplet rocks! This online tool helped me put my thoughts together. I think it will be a great tool for students to use, too! There are so many options...pdf, jpeg, online presentation, online collaboration. It should work well on the ipad too, though I have not set that up yet.
The opening of Rochdale's new Library was celebrated by all sorts of interesting people. But here are decorative art works in the children's and story-telling area.
Some of the uglier buildings will be hidden when the trees are leaved.
As a reward for reading during the Summer, the library has a special event for the kids at the city pool with swimming and hot dogs!

HI-TECH SYSTEM SET TO CUT LIBRARY QUEUES
With the installation of a new computerised issue system, long queues are destined to become a thing of the past at Stroud Library. Out have gone the old cardboard tickets and instead library users are being issued with personalised plastic cards for use when they take out or return books.
Now, instead of searching through racks of tickets,librarians are able to issue books and receive returned books simply by running a lightpen over the card and then over a special label inside the book.
It had been awhile since I had gotten pictures of the Clinton Library in downtown Little Rock, so I decided to check in to see how things were going there. I made one visit on a Saturday night, but it looked like there was some sort of fancy shindig going on there that I was not invited to (a wedding reception, maybe?). There was a queue of folks in fancy clothes stretched out the door, right where I would be wanting to set up the camera. So I held off for a few days.
I finally made it back over on a night when the library was empty and quiet. It's hard to believe that it's been six years since the library opened. But it's hard to remember what this area looked like before the Clinton Library was built. Located just down the road from the thriving River Market district, this area was a perfect example of urban blight. The grounds of the library were home to a few old industrial buildings, which weren't something you would show off to out-of-state tourists. A homeless camp used to sit by the Rock Island Bridge, and its residents freely roamed the abandoned bridge.
But now the library sits on a vast plot of parkland, and the buildings themselves look neat when lit up at night. I took the camera out there on a warm night, and set up by one of the two fountains that flank the entrance. For some reason, about half the spotlights on the front of the building were turned off. So the glass on the front of the main building just reflected the cool blues of dusk.
The newly renovated Elmhurst Library features a transparent façade and includes several amenities that fulfill critical needs lacking in this Queens neighborhood. The new four-level branch will have a cyber center for public use, an adult learning center, and training rooms located at the front of the facility that are highly visible from the street. The new building will also include a memory wall, learning garden, historic photographs, and a children’s fireplace to commemorate the original branch’s design by Andrew Carnegie in 1906.

The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).
As a reward for reading during the Summer, the library has a special event for the kids at the city pool with swimming and hot dogs!
