In the Library of Congress

This building is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. When my brother was in school in Maryland, he used to come to this room to work. I can't imagine what it would be like to have daily access to this amazing place. And, I learned it was the first structure constructed with electricity as part of its original infrastructure.
Thank you for putting yesterday's image of Lincoln's Memorial on PP!

Oh wow, it would be hard to keep one's mind on the books in there Taffy, so much to see and watch.

This is just amazing. I'd never be able to work in there though, surrounded by so much beauty! I'd be permanently distracted.

It looks incredible in the picture so I imagine it's breath-taking in reality. The size alone looks surreal.
