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.

Chaining books to the bookcase used to be common practice to stop pilfering in libraries. This is however the largest remaining in tact chained library. It dates from the 17th Century but the books go right back to the 8th Century.
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.
