Avenue Of Enlightenment

I've been a walk from one of my favorite places for 27 years, my Library. It's my "home away from home." This non-fiction aisle is my most frequent stops I know, this picture has probably been done a million times, but I'VE never done it. And now I have. :-)
(I forgot to ask permission to photograph with a flash, so the bright bursts of light coming from upstairs caused a bit of a stir. They thought the lights were shorting out, as we were experiencing a real "gullywhomper" of a storm at the time. Oooops!)

A wonderful entry for the theme. So colorful.

[Princess Fairlane]

Brilliant idea for the theme! Great shot!

[Crickle]

wonderful, I can actually smell the books. I LOVE the smell of libraries... love libraries and book stores so much. This is a great capture.

[Margaret Tryon]

Perfect shot Les.

[Mike Warren]

Like the different colors which adds to the character.

[Nicole Campbell]

Wonderful theme shot Les. There is nothing better than reading a good book.

[Margaret Tryon]

Les, you got me on the stripes on a tiger. Very interesting. I can't wait until next week to go check them out. Thanks for telling me.

[Amy Spada]

Love libraries... How nice for you to be so close to one! This is a wonderful view of the aisle!

@princesicita Thanks so much - The idea just came to me when I was looking for a book. Don't you just love it when an idea just pops up out of the blue? :-) Be well, Les

@crickle1969 Ahhhh, a fellow library lover :-) I just heard of a new used bookstore that opened nearby. As I am loving my trials with sepia, I might go check it out shoot some "vintage" pictures. Be well, Les

[Leslie Manna]

@maggie2 Thank you Maggie; how could I resist once the idea hit me on the head? :-) Be very well, Les x

[Leslie Manna]

@mwarren365 Thank you Mike; it's the color that jumped out at me, so I had to give it a try.
Like your new thumbnail shot:-) ! Be well, Les

[Leslie Manna]

@nicolecampbell ...........except maybe taking a really good picture :-)
I LOVE a good read; I've got quite a list for this winter! Be well, Les x

[Leslie Manna]

@aspada Glad you liked it,; thanks. Ours is an absolutely charming little library built in the 1920's. It is brick with lots of details and flourishes,, and the inside has wonderful woodwork, and beautiful mouldings. Get this: In late 1930's, as a liitle girl, my mother lived just a jot away also, and visited the same Library, I think almost daily. :-)Take care, Les

[Nicole Campbell]

@glimpses - Hi Les, are you on Goodreads?

[Michelle]

[Leslie Manna]

@nicolecampbell Hi Nicole - Never heard of "Goodreads", so I Googled it; looks fabulous, very inviting and enticing. Thank you very much for mentioning it. You're a great pal! BIG :-) Be well, Les x

[Leslie Manna]

@shellbelle It has a lot charm; old-style touches inside and out that you don't see except on "vintage" or period buildings. Have yourself a dandy week, Les x

[Nicole Campbell]

@glimpses - you are welcome. I am on Goodreads so look me up and then we can swap book recommendations. Have a good day.
