I’ve mentioned before that the Library of Congress is one of my favorite buildings to visit. It’s not that there is a lot of exhibits to see or things to do, but the architecture and artwork is a feast for the eyes. At every turn there is a view to impress visitors of all ages. If I return at some point, I need to block time to set my camera down and appreciate it in person more than my last visit. Yes, I would like to photograph more angles, more closeups and such, but I hope to “take it in” more than my last visit.

This is one of the staircases off the main atrium of the Jefferson Building. Here are a few other images from the Library of Congress.
