This gives you a little bit of a view of the exterior of the library. A little shaky as I had no tripod but at web size it isnt too bad. For whatever reason the way the light shines out of this building is kind of dull I guess because the angles of the walls are not facing me. The one portion that is facing and looks a little bit brighter is the main book spiral. This was taken from the steps of the Federal Courthouse on the other side of the street and you can see the flagpoles and walkway in the foreground.
