umm, looking for other photos for work-related reasons, but this reminds me of those brilliant "tilt-shift" photography photos come across recently via boingboing.com. but, this is just a real scene taken from the top level of the state library of victoria.

Analyze a problem with a recurring daydream...

Manchester Central Library is the headquarters of the city's library and information service in Manchester, England. Facing St Peter's Square, it was designed by E. Vincent Harris and constructed between 1930 and 1934. At its opening, one critic wrote, "This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon". The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome.

The library building is grade II* listed. A four-year project to renovate and refurbish the library commenced in 2010. Central Library re-opened on 22 March 2014.

Little Free Library. There are hundreds of these little library boxes across the country and around the world. This one is in Durham, we found it while out strolling through the streets taking photos together.
