National Library of Latvia
Riga
"Looking at the building we see an intriguing form. It is visually attractive to us. What is it like? It is expressive. It is a library, a functional symbol. It is a reminder of an outstanding historical event, important for Latvia, the making of its statehood, as well as praise to the rebirth of the state and its renewed collections of cultural treasures.
The linear nature of words fail to describe fully the three dimensional architectural shape. As to the expressivity the form has many meanings.
To perceive its meaning, it we have to return to the feelings and intuition that accompanied the moment of creation." (the architect Gunars Birkerts about the idea of the project)
This week's Happy Caturday theme is "books". I have given away or donated almost all my books but I still have a book I made of some of my early photos, so I opened to a photo of Jimmy so I could have all three cats in today's post.

The size and extent of a persons own library says a lot about them. My bookshelves are full with extra books being added only occasionally, and when I weaken, from book sale trolleys in my libraries.
Some of what my personal library says about me is that I'm from New Zealand as these items show.
Using my lensbaby. HSosS. A great theme.
