The Place to be on a WInters Day

The Place to be on a Winter’s Day

When it is wet and blowing snow outside, one of the best possible places to take shelter?

The neighborhood library.

  1. Ah! What is different now days of the inner library scene is one on a laptop instead of an open book. All those books stacked high. Neat capture from the view of within to without. Have you ever gone into the library, picked a section, and pulled books off the shelves at random gathering an armload? Then to take these books home to see if any are of a niggling interest and learn something new? I’ve done it both in fiction and nonfiction. 🙂

    So right, Anna. I smiled when I saw he was using his laptop instead of reading a book. Then I got curious – counted 12 readers and 3 computer users at the tables in the adult stacks section. Not the computer section, which was about half full. So while I did capture this computer user – he was the one in front of the window I wanted to use – there were plenty of readers, too. That’s a good thing.

  3. Funny about the laptop – thanks for the follow-up, Bo. Libraries are miraculous places. I’ve not done what Anna mentioned but think that’s a great idea! Lovely shot, as always.

  4. O man, this is awesome. You nailed it on the tones and angle. Great shot.

  5. I love the lines, angles and geometric shapes.

  6. What a great shot! I can almost smell the books and oiled tables. I love Anna idea of choosing a random stack of books and seeing what they might hold.

  7. I’d like to take his place there… 🙂

  8. That has a very comfortable look to it!

  9. That’s a gorgeous shot! So warm and cozy inside against the grey cold outside. I love the rich colors of the library and the clerestory windows. It makes me want to be there.
