library interioe

The Long Room at Trinity College is one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. I took dozens of photos, but this one captured everything I love about the library: you see the old books (larger on the bottom and smaller on top), the beautiful columns standing guard in front of the shelves, and the graceful soaring of the rounded ceiling. I’m proud of this photo because they don’t allow tripods or flashes - this is the natural beauty of the room. My only wish is that we had smell-o-vision, because the smell of old books that permeates the Long Room is intoxicating.
