This is my little tribute to all those writers who made me live wonderful adventures when I was a child and those who are bringing me new stories.

Voar voar, subir subir, ir por onde for,

Descer até o céu cair ou mudar de cor,

Anjos de gás, asas de ilusão,

E um sonho audaz, feito um balão!

(poema de Vania Dramis Pimenta)

Running out of new photography due to the lockdown and looking back to some older images - in this case the Library of Birmingham in January 2014

Love it or hate it, the New(ish) Birmingham Library certainly catches the eye.

 

The domed ceiling of the Library of Parliament in Ottawa.

 

The Library of Parliament (French: Bibliothèque du Parlement) is the main information repository and research resource for the Parliament of Canada. The main branch of the library sits at the rear of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon, and appears on the obverse of the Canadian ten-dollar bill.

 

The library is overseen by the Parliamentary Librarian of Canada and an associate or assistant librarian. The Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate and the Parliamentary Budget Officer are also considered to be officers of the library.

 

This is a completely changed photo of the Salt Lake City library from the outside. I really messed with this photo, for Slider's Sunday Group.

I never tire of visiting the Central Library in Birmingham. There are so many floors and so many angles to photograph, not to mention all those fabulous books, archives, maps and manuscripts.

Alguns d'ells requereixen cervell,

alguns d'ells paciència,

i tots els haurem de lluitar

com fa un caiman en un pantà."

John Rylands library is an imposing building with elaborate ceilings and imposing statues within. I had the opportuinity to visit it for the first time with a few mates and was struck by the beauty of the library. I will not cover the whats and the whyfor's of the building as it has been covered in intense detail by other Flickr contributors but felt I needed to post some photos as a memento of the visit. Forgive me if there are similar shots on Flickr but it is one of the most photographed buildings in Manchester.
