Cerritos Library Detail

Cerritos, CA

One of my favorite local subjects to photograph is the Cerritos Library. It is titanium-clad and, thus, looks different depending on the light it is reflecting. This image was taken when the sun was low in the sky near the end of the day.

The citizens of Cerritos are proud of their library because it is an experience. When librarians are in the area they make a point of visiting the library.
