Adjoining the cathedral in Siena is the Piccolomini Library, housing precious illuminated choir books and frescoes painted by the Umbrian Bernardino di Betto.
The visual impact of these very colorful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favorite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II.

Koning Lodewijk Napoleon koos in 1807 Utrecht als zijn residentie. Voor zijn paleis kocht hij een aantal panden, o.a. aan de Drift, en liet de "'grande galerie" en hofkapel nieuw bouwen. Onder leiding van J.D. Zocher sr. was zijn paleis snel gereed, hij woonde er echter maar een paar maanden. De balzaal werd in 1817 verbouwd tot bibiliotheek voor de universiteit. Vanaf 1960 was de grande galerie alleen nog maar in gebruik als boekenopslag. Met de recente verbouwing zijin de galerie en de voormalige kapel weer onderdeel van de bibliotheek.

The library was built as part of a Jesuit College in the Baroque Style and is home to a collection of 20,000 rare books!
As well as bookshelves full of old, rare texts, you’ll find frescoes, astronomical globes, and portraits that decorate the room.
It is truly breathtaking.
Taking photos was somewhat of a challenge as the library is constantly kept at certain temperature and humidity and very, very dark.
This is from a set of photographs I took when I visited the location back in December.
This was taken very closeup and has some crazy perspective distortion due to the proximity and wide-angle lens. I didn't post this one at the time as there were some annoying cranes messing up parts of the frame, but now with Adobe's new AI tools I can remove them much more easily and effectively ...
The public library and archive service located on William Brown Street in Liverpool seamlessly merges its Victorian heritage with contemporary design. The historic Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library contrast with the modern glass-domed atrium that floods the building with natural light features a rooftop terrace that offers views of the city and a dedicated children's area with a large book collection and often hosts events and activities for children.

The outside of Nottingham's future new Central Library, part of the Broadmarsh Car Park/Bus Station building. I don't know where the quotes are from -Google is no help.
The Handley Library in Winchester Virginia framed by the blossoms.
This is the start of a self imposed project that I have been wanting to work on for a while now, and that is photographing Winchester and Frederick County with a monochromatic minds eye. Shooting with the intent of monochrome imagery really slows me down and study the composition, and shooting with only primes makes me work for that comp.
This second test shot from the Leica D-Lux 7 compact camera was designed to check two features: Colour and lens. Like my previous shot today, it shows how well the sensor has captured the light that has then been converted by the Bayer filter (RGB) arrangement of the pixels. The colours in this shot are almost ideal clash colours, and yet there is a very clear demarcation of their difference. There was no risk of them blending into each other. Once again I needed no manipulation in processing other than a slight lift in the brightness of the shadow area under the Library sign. The resolution is sharp (see all those cobwebs - Covid has been used as a great excuse for public slackness).
The 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 3.1x Leica lens has a slight fisheye effect at these settings, and I did not correct this in processing to show you (though of course it is easily correctible).
I am told that 70% of all photographs taken on Leica cameras are converted to monochrome. That is a personal choice of the photographers, although the Leica Monochrom Q2 is one of only two dedicated monochromatic cameras in the world. But the colour of this Leica camera is truly charming, and I am very happy with my purchase.
The McKim Building opened in 1895 as the Central Library branch of the Boston Public Library. It has been an elegant presence along Dartmouth Street in the city's Back Bay neighborhood ever since. It was the nation's first large urban library, as well as one of the first major Beaux Arts buildings in the United States, and today continues its work dedicated to the advancement of learning. Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
