And you thought it was my computer room. :-D
When we drove by Whitehern House in May we just happened to show up on a "Doors Open" day so we had the unexpected fun of touring the house.
Of course, it's always forbidden to use a tripod in these historic places but sometimes one can get away with a monopod. Unfortunately, I didn't have mine with me so most of my interior shots weren't usable, however, the library had just enough light that I was able to get this.
Take a closer look at the bookshelves. They came up with the best idea for keeping dust off the tops of the books: long strips of fringed leather. I'd never seen that before.

On our day off, my son insisted on going to the George Eastman House. Here is the library, where guests would sit before dinner.
Going through archives, all I could find was this low-res version. I really liked this photo. WRPI had a really great music library.

An old library ? It is , but I have not been visiting old stately homes or country mansions - in fact taken on the oven top pop up studio in the light box studio . In reality this is only only a Kindle cover - an electronic book encased in old traditional library of books .
There is no mark of who designed the library scene , enough to say not my creation , just my photo of it as it is quite eye catching !!

Hadrian's Library was a large library in ancient Athens. Today it gets an unusual visit.
The library of Celsus in Efes, in Western Turkey. Ancient Greek city on a site that has been occupied for over 8000 years. During the Greek Period it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. Ephesus was one of seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of St. John may have been written in Ephesus and the ruins of the Basilica of St. John and his burial site are nearby. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was located here. The theatre of Ephesus could hold 25,000 people. Check out my Ephesus album for more images.

The public Library in my home town is a building that was converted after being destroyed in the bombing raids of March 1945. Historically it used to be an administration building for the diocese of Paderborn.

The Central Library in Calgary, Alberta, has a fabulous display of architectural feats in every corner.
The Morgan library was built as a private library for the banker JP Morgan in 1906 in New York. It is now a museum and research library and looks like something straight out of a story book.
New York was the first holiday Niqui and I ever took together, so in celebration of our 25th not-wedding anniversary this year, we decided to go back, the first time in nearly 20 years!)
Took this the day I thought I would be able to get to the ponds and get some ducks or geese.. That fence around the whole parking lot made it very difficult for me to get down to the ponds.. You either go thru the library and out the back door and down stairs or go on the walkway around the building and down some stairs.. A little far for me without the aid of the walker... Happy Windows Wednesday, Everybody!!!

Spreading knowledge, adventure and love one book at a time!
People can take a book for free as long as they replace it with a different book. We have a lot of these in our community. I thought this one was cute because it looks like a ladybug.
You can learn more about these libraries and find one near you at littlefreelibrary.org/
