"The Old Library" (or, Thing #5)

No, my library doesn't look like this (how many do, today?). But the photo captures the essence of a library: the excitement of learning is reflected not only in the books that line the shelves, but also in the images that line the walls and ceiling, and in the perfect illumination of light on the walls, the floor, and the table (as someone noted in the original picture!).

I'd love to visit this library (sigh!). But since it's in the Netherlands, and I'm not planning a trip to Europe anytime in the near future, I'll have to wait.......and be satisfied with the library that I work in every day.
