Geisel Library is on the campus of UCSD. It is named after Theodore and Audrey Geisel. Theodore Geisel is the creator of Dr. Seuss.
Last week I went on a short vacation with the family to San Diego. I got a chance to sneak out on Sunday morning and go up to UCSD to photograph. My intention was to photograph The Salk Institute and this the Geisel Library. To my misfortune the Salk Institute was closed but the Library was open for the taking.
I usually do all of my photography in black and white, but on this i decided to experiment with some color. So I am posting the color 1st and then I will post the Black and white.
Comparisons of the black and white and color as well as the Black and white and original will be posted to my Facebook page in the next few days.

One photo cannot do this ceiling justice...so here's another.
Visited the Central Library and this is from the front balcony. The sun was shinning. People were taking the opportunity to be in the warmth of the sun's rays.

An odd composition perhaps, but it caught my eye and had to be taken :o)
The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila. The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978.

This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
Some troopers getting books for the summer! They're already bored of video games and YouTube XD (As is the case with me, to an extent). Hopefully they can find something interesting ;)
Ungewöhnlich präsentiert sich die Bibliothek des kleinen Städtchens Alcobaca mit den beiden Wächtern, die ein grosses eisernes Herz flankieren...
Was es bedeuten soll, habe ich mich schon gefragt.
Ist Bildung eher Herzensangelegenheit?
Macht Lesen kopflos? ;-)
Yesterday my sister and I visited our cousin in West Vancouver. He has Alzheimer's disease and lives in the Maison Senior Living - Memory Care. The place was beautiful and he seemed genuinely happy there.
May I suggest enlarging the picture to see the activities of people using the library area.

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.
