"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)
If you love books, you won´t ever be able to leave this place....just don´t sit down! Go and find your way through the labyrinths!

Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)
“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
Been pondering why we see so little still life in B&W, I'm guessing it's because it's not always immediately eye catching so maybe doesn't attract as many likes! Oh well, I like it :)

Why do we love reading books? Is it because we can explore other worlds or because through them we can escape our own?
Maybe we just like that we can always bookmark a page and return to it anytime we want...
Life doesn't give us this... life is an adventure we cannot pause...
We can just live, learn from experiences, have fun as much as we can... and hope to enrich this adventure we call life.
The one on top is a book of poetry given to my father by his mother. The inscription is dated 1946.
The bottom book is about Earth Sciences and was owned by my grandfather, signed and dated 1903.
FYI: the combined thickness of the books is 6 cm.

Anything goes for 2021 - Fragile
These dried hydrangeas are a couple of years or so old now so are very fragile. The little vintage books are also very fragile. I bought them at a street market in Berlin a few years ago. They made it all the way home until our taxi driver dropped my bag, everything fell out and one of the books fell apart.
I decided on a desaturated vintage look to enhance the fragility.
They just belong together.
