This is a great shot. I love the contrast between the bookcases and sky beyond the window. This pic reminds me of a scene from one of the Harry Potter movies. I am really feeling the dream-like quality of this one. Well done.

Thank you. Yesterday I went back to take more pictures at the library but the security guard told me I wasn't allowed.

But why? Are there top secret documents in there?

It was stupid. I don't know why. I am thinking it was because they are afraid of terrorists. People can no longer take photographs in the subway stations either now.

I didn't know that there was Afro-American terrorists

I know...some of these people are idiots. The real terrorists are in the White House.

AHH Yess, It came every summer when I was in elementary school because there was no local library close and when I was in 7th grade they built one a few blocks from my house, lots of new books

I was told yesterday by security not to take any more pictures at my local library. So I went to a different one and took more photos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe the security gaurd thought you were taking pictures for nefarious reasons.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's possible. I'm gonna call the library and ask what their policy is about picture taking....possibility two is that the security guard is an asshole.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is entirely possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Matter fact, it is factual. Being the nerd that I am, I checked on the rules for the libraries and there is none against taking pictures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then you just got a butt headed security guard.

People think I am weird because I like to smell a new book before I read it

I loved that smell, I miss that smell!
