New York Public Library

The Rose Reading Room at the New York Public Library is a great space for relaxing, especially on a hot summer day. It’s quiet, as you’d expect, but it’s also such a grand public space. Difficult to capture with a camera. No tripods are allowed, obviously, so you have to be still for these slightly long exposures.
