This extraordinary library and museum grew out of the private collection of banker JP Morgan. It holds thousands of rare and valuable books, manuscripts, and artifacts (including multiple Gutenberg Bibles). The cultural riches on display are overwhelming, and unsettling - a testament to the vast power of one incredibly wealthy man, who took for himself whatever part of the world's heritage he desired. The library opened to the public in 1924, nine years after his death, as per his will.
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? ;-)
The Stanley A. Milner library is Edmonton's biggest library located in the heart of downtown, adjacent to Churchill Square. The library was recently renovated, and although the outside looks somewhat grey and imposing, the inside is an amazing display of color and architecture; not to mention many many books
I lost count of the years I last stepped into a library.
This library is pretty cool with the modern architectural design.

The Downtown Library is covered with an interesting metal skin that reflects. Can't believe I haven't shot this with the focus on the pattern before.
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.
The Neptune Fountain in front of the library is very popular.

Some weeks ago I had the chance to take some shots in the library of Stuttgart. It was the first time I visited the library and I had no big expectations. Of course the pictures you find online are really great but on the other hand side I doubted that I am able to get such shots because of several reasons:
a) I was not sure if my lense would be wide enough
b) I am aware what lightroom and photoshop can do
c) I never really used filters in such scenarios
d) and of course I know me as photographer (the most risky factor)
So no ideal conditions at all…I am not sure about the picture but I guess it’s not so bad ;-)...
But anyway I can just encourage everyone to visit the library because the architecture is just phenomenal. I was really amazed! So the trip to Stuttgart was more than worthwhile.
Here are some info about the library:

My effort for Macro Mondays on the theme of Pins - this was from daughter's collection of badges - would guess they are 20-25 years old.
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.
