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:

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.

Cette photo a été prise dans une bibliothèque. J'ai trouvé amusant le jeu de mot entre les deux significations de réflexion (on voit en arrière plan des magazines) ainsi que la symbolique de la lumière.
This photo was taken in a library. I found amusing the pun between the two meanings of reflection (we see in the background of magazines) as well as the symbolism of light.
The pinnacle of knowledge, this Tardis stores within it ever book ever written, and every book ever to be written. Spanning three levels, the shelves are chock-a-block with knowledge, with every subject from bakery to advanced sciences at the pilots finger tips. Dotted across the three levels are small step ladders and chairs, each with a different coloured cushion. Does the pilot make these themselves? Who knows.
This Tardis was a bit of a project, unsurprising really when you forget to colour the book's, and have to go around and colour all the bloody things, all while making sure the colours don't appear too often, or not often enough. I'd say this is definitely one of my favourites. Though, I'm not a fan of the top bit, should have made it a bit taller, and more elegant. Only downside of this Tardis is that the walkways going to the central core, with the the console and that on, plunge everything below them into complete darkness, which is a shame, 'cos some of the furniture on the bottom level is a bit hard to see. Might have to revisit it, maybe remove some stuff to let a bit more light in. This is the fourth render I did of the build, and this one had the best lighting.
So, that's another Tardis uploaded. Still got loads more, so keep 'em peeled for them. As always, lemme know what you think, and if you have any suggestions for any future Tardis themes :D
I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.
I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.

Reputedly one of the largest libraries in Europe the new Library of Birmingham appears to have been positively received both critically and by the public. A year on from it's opening in 2013 its popularity has not waned and its form and detail is impressive to behold.
The exterior is almost entirely clad in a striking filigree of metalwork, a nod to the city's industrial heritage, whilst within are several layers of open spaces and reading rooms, along with roof terraces giving a fine view over the city.

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...

The Cumberland Library, in Rhode Island, was a Trappist monastery before it was a library. Originally called Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley, this Gothic structure housed 140 monks until being ravished by a fire in the 1950s.
Afterward, the monks relocated to a new monastery and the remaining buildings were repurposed into the Cumberland Public Library.
Since then, rumors of hauntings in the older parts of the building began to spread. Sightings of ghostly monks, unexplained sounds and the like have been reported by employees and patrons.
A short walk through the forest surrounding the monastery turned library will lead you to Nine Men's Misery--a haunted mass grave of nine colonial soldiers that were tortured to death three hundred years ago.
