Photo assignment for The Ebbtide about playing Frisbee. The writer mentioned/joked about playing in the library, so we recruited a student to throw it down the row. This one wasn't used, but you can see the one by fellow photographer Sean that was used.

And see the shot that Sean got of me laying on the floor in a attempt to get shots.

The Great Hall of the Library of Congress - Thomas Jefferson Building.
The Library of Congress is the de facto national library of the United States and the research arm of the United States Congress. Located in three buildings in Washington, D.C., it is the largest library in the world by shelf space and holds the largest number of books.[2][3] The head of the Library is the Librarian of Congress, currently James H. Billington.
The Library of Congress was established by Congress in 1800 with a budget of $5,000, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold the library 6487 books, his entire personal library, in 1815 [4][5]. After a period of decline during the mid-19th century the Library of Congress began to grow rapidly in both size and importance after the American Civil War, culminating in the construction of a separate library building and the transference of all copyright deposit holdings to the Library. During the rapid expansion of the 20th century the Library of Congress assumed a preeminent public role, becoming a "library of last resort" and expanding its mission for the benefit of scholars and the American people.

Ephesus, now in modern day Turkey, was built in the 10th century BC on the coast of Ionia and was a great seaport. Known for its Temple of Artemis, one of the seven Ancient Wonders of the World, it came under Roman control in 129 BC. Built in AD 115-125, this library fell during an earthquake in AD 270 and was not rebuilt until the 1970s. The interior measures 70 by 80 feet and held approximately 15,000 scrolls.
Ephesus is one of the Seven Churches of Asia cited in the book of Revelation, written by the apostle John:-
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favour: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,which is in the paradise of God.”
The Nicolations are thought to be the followers of Nicholas of Antioch who was ordained as a Deacon in Acts 6:5, he was a proselyte meaning he had converted from paganism to Judaism and early church writings indicate that he was teaching a doctrine of compromise and tolerance towards paganism and occultism, which would lead to a weak strain of followers of Jesus without power or conviction.
On the steps of the Celsius Library is a carving of a Menorah, evidencing the presence of the early church in Ephesus and Christianity was declared as the official religion in 380 during the reign of Theodosius I when destruction of pagan temples was legalised. It was from here that Christianity spread out across the world. However with the birth of Islam in 600AD and the taxation of non-Muslims at 50 per cent of earnings, this discrimination caused many of the poor to convert to Islam in order to survive.
Two young Muslims we met in Ephesus confirmed how hard it is even today to come out of Islam.

The library at Highbanks Park. This is located in one of the Columbus, Ohio metro parks. I've been in this building many times and never noticed this view until today.
This was the kind of furniture in the area, it was designed for people to sit on the floor. The area was packed with teenagers.

Update: This photo was in the Landscapes of Vancouver show at the Yaletown Gallery. And it sold on the first night!
