The interior of the Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey, 25 October 2009. The library was completed in the c.120-130 AD and was the third largest in the Roman Empire after Alexandria and Pergamum. Its contents and much of its fabric was destroyed by the Goths in 263 AD and the facade collapsed after an earthquake in the 10th Century. It was re-erected in 1970-78. Ephesus was first established on the site of a Hittite settlement (Apasa) on Ayasuluk Hill by Attic and Ionian Greeks in the 10th Century BC. In c.300 BC the population moved from the hill to a new, coastal location (of the present ruins) founded by Lysimakhos, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. In 129 BC Ephesus, as part of the Greek Kingdom of Pergamon, fell to the Romans and subsequently became capital of the Roman Province of Asia Minor. However, in 263 AD the city was destroyed by the Goths. Although rebuilt, its port began to silt up and then in 614 AD Ephesus was destroyed by an earthquake. Despite being rebuilt again, sackings by Arabs in 655, 700 and 716 and the continuing silting up of the port resulted in the populace gradually moving back to Ayasuluk Hill.

The exterior of the new Vancouver Public Library. Very striking both inside and outside. It is a rectangular building set inside an elliptical exterior. Along the rounded exterior walls are seating/study areas.

Hillside had some very unique building techniques implemented when built. The library shelves make up the walls on the far side, seen here. I remember it being much darker inside, with it's 70's era architecture. Three books I distinctly remember reading a lot: on great disasters, weapons of the US Military, and Bigfoot. Go figure.

The library at Nostell Priory in Wakefield holds an amazing number of ancient books, many of them hundreds of years old and first editions. Truly breathtaking to see.

I sequestered myself in Powell Library one afternoon, desperate to get some work done on a U.N. paper I was ill-equipped to write. Needless to say, I devoted more attention to taking this picture than to my paper.
