"Library Magic"

"Library Magic"
Explored! Thank you very much :-)

I've walked past the Weston Library many times. I've stood near the entrance many times. I've walked through this entrance area and into the Library many times. But, until just recently, I had not seen this viewpoint as a photo possibility :-)

Then I saw the cover of a book entitled "New Bodleian - Making the Weston Library" and the photo on the cover immediately made me think "yes, there are some photo possibilities for me here :-))

I hope the following link works. It shows the photo :-)
www.bodleianshop.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?form_key=Z6Ieu7PlgTEhFiml&q=making+of+weston+library
I would love to find out the name of the photographer :-)

Anyway, this could very well be the first in a series of photos I will take here :-)

And, my musical link is "Library Magic" by The Head & The Heart.

There are indeed! The strong linear structures through the composition are very effective

[edit] and the music is new to me, but very engaging :)

When I first started using Social media (The old Flickr) one of my first contacts a member from Slovenia told me "For every photograph there are a 1000 possibilities" and I think that holds true and goes hand in hand with your description above.

Yes, "For every photograph there are a 1000 possibilities" is so true! I try hard to look for different photo possibilities but more often than not I 'see' better viewpoints when I look at shots taken by other photographers :-) I think it's best to look at a scene from different viewpoints before pressing the shutter. In my case I'm often much too quick to start snapping away :-)
Cheers, Maurice.

What a wonderful image, Roger. That's pretty amazing how you did that! :)

I like this song. (My son really likes this group and has seen them in concert.) For some reason, it brought to my mind this song by our dear Ms. Ronstadt from way back in her "Stone Pony" days: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2jCvuJbF4E

Thanks so very much, Karen. When I came across this song on YouTube and read in Wikipedia that "the band met and was formed through a series of open mic nights at Seattle's Conor Byrne pub in Ballard", I did wonder if you or your son would be familiar with them :-)
Thank you for the link.....but, it said that the video was not available :-(
However, I found a link that worked great -

Absolutely love this :-))
Thanks again, Karen.

Yes, such a wealth of marvellous music :-) It is so unbelievably cruel that Linda has been robbed of her singing voice!

We can only hope there is a silver cloud in it for her. Maybe she is getting to enjoy some "down time" now. :)
