Blue skies!...sort of (lots of pictures)

Today was one of the first days that the weather was semi-sunny. Took a tour of the Black Diamond, also known as the Royal Library of Copenhagen. It was stunning, the juxtaposition between new and old was staggering and put a smile on my face. There is something beautiful to me about the melding the past and future together to create something that still retains its history, yet inspires attention. I adore libraries so it was a great afternoon. The best part was standing in the library and finally seeing a little blue sky peaking through the clouds for the first time since being here :)
Photos!
The Black Diamond

The Danish Literature Room (Old Books) - it smelled amazing


Old Catalogues they used before everything was online

Books! - No I did not steal any, though I did want to...

View from inside the new building - Just let me live here

A picture from the exhibition that was being held in the basement


And just for Patriko, a few bike pictures
