Borrego Springs Library. Project Architect/Designer: RNT Architects (Ralph Roesling, Partner in Charge; Raúl Díaz, Project Architect; Brandon Martella, Architect; Summer Spencer, Designer). Completed in 2019 for the County of San Diego.
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.

With more than 10,000 books to its credit is one of the largest botanical libraries in the world. It is a pride for those who contribute to the recovery of books on botany. The construction is a beautiful English style very common in the late nineteenth century in the country. Botanic garden of Buenos Aires city. Argentina.

I found sunlight's Innovative creative beauty in public library children's section. This indoor rainbow is from cheap crepe paper blocking out harsh south sunlight as high temperatures average 95-100+ on most summer afternoons in deep South Texas U.S.A. .
While showing off this foto, my visitor # 25,000 arrived on Dec. 9, 2007. Thanks to each of you for continuing to share joy, beauty, creativity, and art with this newbie to FLICKR..

Different from my other work, I still can't help but like this shot. It's from the interior of the Seattle Public Library. Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN were the principal architects.

I used to go to a bookstore with that name.
The library is a great place to find books that are inspirational.
Travel, cooking , biography, mystery, etc.
Now we are going to the library :)
The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens is a collections-based educational and research institution established by Henry E. Huntington and his wife in San Marino, California. In addition to the library, the institution houses an extensive art collection with a focus on 18th and 19th century European art and 17th to mid-20th century American art. The property also has specialized botanical landscaped gardens. The Huntington's botanical gardens cover 120 acres (49 ha) and showcase plants from around the world. The gardens are divided into more than a dozen themes, including the Australian Garden, Camellia Collection, Desert Garden, Herb Garden, Japanese Garden, Lily Ponds, Palm Garden, Rose Garden, the Shakespeare Garden, Subtropical and Jungle Garden, and the Chinese Garden.

Powoli zbliżamy się do biblioteki :)
Budynek biblioteki został zaprojektowany w 1920 roku przez architekta z południowej Kalifornii Myrona Hunta w stylu śródziemnomorskiego odrodzenia. Biblioteka zawiera pokaźny zbiór rzadkich książek i rękopisów, głównie z dziedziny brytyjskiej i amerykańskiej historii, literatury, sztuki i historii nauki. Najważniejsze pozycje w zbiorach to jedna z kopii Biblii Gutenberga (z 1455 r.) oraz listy i rękopisy George'a Washingtona, Thomasa Jeffersona, Benjamina Franklina i Abrahama Lincolna. Biblioteka posiada też rękopis autobiografii Benjamina Franklina i osobistą kopię "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica "Isaaca Newtona z własnoręcznymi adnotacjami autora. W głównej sali wystawowej biblioteki prezentowane są jedne z najwybitniejszych rzadkich książek i rękopisów w kolekcji, podczas gdy w zachodniej sali biblioteki odbywają się wystawy rotacyjne.
Biblioteka Huntingtona, Muzeum Sztuki i Ogrody Botaniczne to instytucja edukacyjna i badawcza oparta na zbiorach, założona przez Henry'ego E. Huntingtona i jego żonę w San Marino w Kalifornii. Oprócz biblioteki instytucja posiada bogatą kolekcję dzieł sztuki, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sztuki europejskiej XVIII i XIX wieku oraz sztuki amerykańskiej od XVII do połowy XX wieku. Wokół biblioteki rozciągają się specjalistyczne ogrody botaniczne, które zajmują powierzchnię ok. 49 ha i prezentują rośliny z całego świata. Ogrody są podzielone na kilkanaście tematów, w tym ogród australijski, kolekcja kamelii, ogród pustynny, ogród ziołowy, ogród japoński, stawy liliowe, ogród palmowy, ogród różany, ogród szekspirowski, ogród subtropikalny i dżungla oraz ogród chiński.

This is Vancouver, Washington's latest addition to the library system I photographed about 2 years ago.
Panorama mode on the iPhone required, as normal photo just couldn’t get wide enough to include the tram and the Library building together
The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus[ (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D., and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected (anastylosis) by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978. (From Wikipedia)
