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.

The library is a great place to find books that are inspirational.

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 Library of Celsus is an ancient library located in the city of Ephesus, in what is now Turkey. It was built in the 2nd century AD. in honor of the Roman senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemeano by his son, Tiberius Julius Celso Polemeano. The library was one of the largest and most luxurious in antiquity, with an impressive two-story façade that included Corinthian columns and niches for statues.
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)

My agent was just here taking photos of the house for the listing. I took some of my own, because we've done ALOT of work in the past week.
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:
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?!
Picton Reading Room
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.

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!
The magnificent monastery library was built between 1680 and 1689, also by Carlo Antonio Carlone. It is one of the great libraries of Austria and contains about 160,000 volumes, besides 1,700 manuscripts and nearly 2,000 incunabula. The most valuable book is the "Codex Millenarius", a Gospel Book written around 800 in Mondsee Abbey. Facsimiles of this codex may be found in the libraries of a number of universities throughout the world.
