I found sunlight's Innovative creative beauty in public library children's section. This indoor rainbow is from cheap crepe paper blocking out harsh south sunlight as high temperatures average 95-100+ on most summer afternoons in deep South Texas U.S.A. .

Different from my other work, I still can't help but like this shot. It's from the interior of the Seattle Public Library. Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN were the principal architects.
Domed expansion/addition by architects Mosher Drew was completed in 1997. Original library project completed in 1970, and named for university president Malcolm A. Love in 1971.
This is Vancouver, Washington's latest addition to the library system I photographed about 2 years ago.
The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. The building was designed by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin.
Panorama mode on the iPhone required, as normal photo just couldn’t get wide enough to include the tram and the Library building together
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 (consul, 110 AD). 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 (anastylosis) by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978. (From Wikipedia)
Photo of the stacks of the main branch of the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, through what used to be exterior windows. (The library was opened in 1898.)
This photo was taken from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's dinosaur exhibit room.
Note that the ceilings here (and the floors of each story above them) are made from very thick greenish frosted glass which allows the light from each floor above to help light the floor below. The two lower-right windows show some of the large double-sided bookcases.
The windows have window seats where two patrons seem to be hanging out, away from the action in the main part of the library.
The other side. Actually I was lost and was going round and round around the library!

The National Library of Australia is the largest reference library in Australia, responsible under the terms of the National Library Act for "maintaining and developing a national collection of library material, including a comprehensive collection of library material relating to Australia and the Australian people."

Construction of Grinnell Library was completed in 1887. Grinnell hired a New York City architect, and supplied a list of architectural features he wanted to include. The tower is modeled after one he saw in St. Battenberg, Switzerland, and the way the second story overhangs the first recalls buildings he liked in Chester, England. More info at:
Picton Reading Room
The doorway with the clock above it takes you into the Hornby Library ( named after Hugh Frederick Hornby ) which was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
Art sculpture by Matej Kren. Installed in the lobby of the Municipal Library on Mariánské námesti, Prague.
Things are moving along, books are coming in, furniture has been chosen, & Kati is deciding what color the walls should be. So much to do for one little shelf!
