This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
Canada Water Library in front of Surrey Quays, with Columbia Point on the left, Regina Point behind the library, and Ontario Point on the right. You can also see the Shard and the Cheesegrater in the distance if you look closely enough. Shot with a 10 stop filter on shortly before sunset.

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.

I loved this building... but not everyone did. Architects were Norton Curtis & Assoc. The building was constructed in the late 1960s and opened in 1970. When I was in grad school (in the 90s!), I used to study here. People used to say that it was dark inside... but I don't remember that at all. I loved that you entered on a bridge hovering over sunken gardens. I loved that the architects really made an effort to integrate the design with the Civic Center across the street, which was built in the mid 1930s in a Spanish Colonial / Mission Revival style. Note the library's arched windows. Anyway, people either loved or hated this building, and the opinions were strong. It came down in the 2000s for an extension of the convention center... the main building of which I find hideous. Speaking of strong opinions... LOL.
George Peabody Library, focused research library of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
Angled shot of library. This space was absolutely a joy to shoot and I got it while it was relatively quiet in terms of foot traffic.
This is from a set of photographs I took when I visited the location back in December.
This was taken very closeup and has some crazy perspective distortion due to the proximity and wide-angle lens. I didn't post this one at the time as there were some annoying cranes messing up parts of the frame, but now with Adobe's new AI tools I can remove them much more easily and effectively ...
Our local library has monthly shows in the Seating Area and asked if I'd be willing since the person who was originally schedule couldn't follow through so an opportunity to stress out and put it together.

I took a crisp focus shot of the library and also an out-of-focus 'bokeh' shot. I 'sort of' liked each of them, but wanted them together. So this is my composite. I'd like to think that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. (Or, maybe I'm just trying too much new stuff at once...)
