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.

A place of zen, peace and learning. However, my personal interest revolved around the fine symmetry of this place, along with the surrounding walkways. Very photogenic.

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)

And on National Library Day - a celebration too of the home libraries. This is my library (or second home as I like to call it) in Whitehaven, Cumbria UK. Candles and paraffin lamps offer mood lighting, there are automatons, plants, a train set (centre shelf) and can you spot the secret compartment?!

The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. The building was designed by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin.

The doorway with the clock above it takes you into the Hornby Library ( named after Hugh Frederick Hornby ) which was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.

Grinnell Library by Charles Steven

Construction of Grinnell Library was completed in 1887. Grinnell hired a New York City architect, and supplied a list of architectural features he wanted to include. The tower is modeled after one he saw in St. Battenberg, Switzerland, and the way the second story overhangs the first recalls buildings he liked in Chester, England. More info at:

Things are moving along, books are coming in, furniture has been chosen, & Kati is deciding what color the walls should be. So much to do for one little shelf!
