Okay. So I belong to a bookgroup. We meet once a month to discuss the book that was chosen the previous month. And yes, we really do discuss the book. This month the book is "Mornings on Horseback" by David McCullough. It's about Teddy Roosevelt.
On my way to work this morning, I decided to stop at the Amsterdam Library and get the book--I knew it was there because I checked online. Arriving 15 minutes before it opened, I was tapping my toe, anxious to get on to the next thing I had to do, when I remembered I had my trusty point-and-shoot in my purse.
I've always loved this building (it's a wonder some of the powers-that-be in Amsterdam haven't thought about tearing it down). So here you see a few of the shots I got. (I was going to post them in a slide show from photobucket, but after spending two very unsuccessful hours trying to get the slide show to transfer over to my blog, I said "the heck with it" and you just get to see still images--guess I gotta find another slideshow source).

I love that first photo. Caught my eye. Beautiful.
I too like the first photo the best. Great symmetry!
These are all really nice, Linda, but I LOVED that first image!!! As Jayme said...great symmetry! The b/w works well with that subject, too. Are you submitting any of the library series to the mayor? :-)
Your work on the RPI building and the library are a beautiful study between wood and stone mediums..The predominant tone for the wood RPI is smooth,yellow/brown and curved..While the stone Library is angular Black/grey/white parrell/perpendicular..
