Library of Congress Open House

[justiceischeap]

Twice a year, the LOC has an Open House and allows photography in the main reading room. I took the day off so I wouldn't miss this opportunity to shoot the reading room. Here are a few images.

My first attempt at a panorama. It was tricky 'cause we weren't allowed tripods.

Wow!

You have done justice to the Library. These are wonderful, breathtaking. Your vertorama deserves to be framed.

I'll bet you had fun!

Thanks for sharing.

6. Thanks all!

It was quite amazing to see the time and effort put into this building. I can't imagine anyone doing anything like that today.
