My Library and office, at home...
LUGINSLAND (German for "With a Country View") is our home in northern California. Architecturally designed by the late John Colm of San Francisco, and built by Dave Stroebel, with interiors and landscape design by Angelo (Buzz) Forniciari. Surrounded 270 degrees by Robert Trent Jones golf course, the estate was built in 1990, incorporating house parts from around the Globe.
Slate roof from China, marble floors from Italy, Malaysia, Formosa, Mexico, and Indonesia, The front doors on the home were hand carved in Borreon, Spain in the year 1650. Interior doors are also from the Castellon de la Plana area of the Costa Azuhar. Rugs are mostly Persian, and various pieces of furniture are antique and come from Brazil, Italy, Slovenia, Germany and China.
Here in the Library is a marvelous tribal rug from Afghanistan, the desk is an old converted Quarter Grand Piano made of Brazilian Rosewood and came from a sugar plantation in Mannaus, Brazil. The old coffee table is an antique Hindu temple door. The fireplace is limestone from France, and the fabrics are Robert Allen. The old piano is a Chickering, dated 1906 and has been in my wife's family from the beginning. The marble floors are limestone from Ipoh, Malaysia. The ornate desk chairs are Spanish. The small armoire is from Sumatra. The urns are Aubusson. The table lamp is solid alabaster and comes from Italy.
A subscription reference library for the Mechanics Institute from 1860, which eventually became part of the public library. It closed in 1975, and remains a unique surviving collection in Australia.
This is the external facade of the Perth City Library including the extensive remediation building works. But it is good the library is still operating, with a dedicated children's floor that is accessible only to parents and their kids. I quite often pop into a library when travelling, just to see what is different and interesting.
Established in 1848 as the first municipal library in the country.In 1986 National Park Services designated the building a National Historic Landmark.
Ungewöhnlich präsentiert sich die Bibliothek des kleinen Städtchens Alcobaca mit den beiden Wächtern, die ein grosses eisernes Herz flankieren...
Was es bedeuten soll, habe ich mich schon gefragt.
Ist Bildung eher Herzensangelegenheit?
Macht Lesen kopflos? ;-)

I love it when I'm out shooting some other things and I happen upon one of these small neighborhood libraries.

I lost count of the years I last stepped into a library.
This library is pretty cool with the modern architectural design.

The ceiling of the library of the Technical University of Berlin. I guess I got little too carried away with the postprocessing since the atmosphere here is little dark and jail like
I took this photo nearly 9 years ago in rural Maine. Posting it today because publicly funded libraries are important resources in a truly free society.
Libraries are a priceless resource worth our support.
Technically not a "library" shelfie, as these books are all in the living room rather than the library. Those shelves are too packed to fit a Blythe!

The eclipse on Thursday morning. I was going to go behind the Supreme Court to get the sun behind the Peace Tower, but there were cranes everywhere, so I had to change plans at the last minute. I got it coming up near the Library of Parliament from a nearby bridge viewpoint instead. You'd be surprised how fast it moves sideways as it rises, I had to keep moving after every few shots.

I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.
I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.
