This extraordinary library and museum grew out of the private collection of banker JP Morgan. It holds thousands of rare and valuable books, manuscripts, and artifacts (including multiple Gutenberg Bibles). The cultural riches on display are overwhelming, and unsettling - a testament to the vast power of one incredibly wealthy man, who took for himself whatever part of the world's heritage he desired. The library opened to the public in 1924, nine years after his death, as per his will.

This is the external facade of the Perth City Library including the extensive remediation building works. But it is good the library is still operating, with a dedicated children's floor that is accessible only to parents and their kids. I quite often pop into a library when travelling, just to see what is different and interesting.
The ceiling of the library of the Technical University of Berlin. I guess I got little too carried away with the postprocessing since the atmosphere here is little dark and jail like
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.

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.

I visited a library known for its unique architecture in Gifu city, Japan. The wooden ceiling design and translucent canopies were very impressive. There are Starbucks and a convenience store downstairs. I can spend a whole day here.

居心地が良くて一日中過ごせそうな図書館でした。
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.
