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.

Liverpool Central Library. Liverpool. UK.
Hadrian's Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
The building followed a typical Roman forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches (oikoi, exedrae) at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus "books" were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.

The sun streams in through a window in one of the wings of the Pannonhalma Archabbey library in Pannonhalm, Hungary.
I would have liked it better without the hideous posters covering the books on either side and without the table pad behind the globe, but you take the shots you can take...
Claremont Hastings
brassey institute
gothic architecture
designed for Thomas Brassey
in 1878 when he was Hastings MP
Walter liberty Vernon was designer
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.
Powell Library is the main college undergraduate library on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It was constructed from 1926 to 1929 and was one of the original four buildings that comprised the UCLA campus in the early period of the university's life. Its Romanesque Revival architecture design, its historic value and its popularity with students make it one of the defining images of UCLA. Like the building facing it across the quad, Royce Hall, the building's exterior is modeled after Milan's Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio.
The public library in Seattle has an impressive architecture. This is a shot from an upper floor down to the entrance floor. People are looking for references in shelves with cards. There is a carpet with a tangle pattern.

This week Deering Library at Northwestern University has been lit up by Marco Rotelli's light installation.
According to the Northwestern website, "Rotelli took inspiration from the famous Dylan Thomas poem “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” and its refrain “Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light.” The light installation will celebrate the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of cold and melancholy -- with lines from Shakespeare, Dante, Dickinson and others projected onto Deering’s soaring façade." The Daily Northwestern also has a nice article.
