As promised, here is the view from the top floor of the library looking north over the parking lot. We are looking toward the mid-town business district with it's high-rise buildings. Now you can see those solar panels over the parking structures.
Walking toward the south of the building I pass one of the reading rooms with the stacks off to the side.
Looking toward the south, we see right into downtown Phoenix with all of it's tall buildings. On this side of the building are the louvres I mentioned yesterday so I had to shoot between them to get the shot. That's what you see sort of framing this shot.

Great views, and beautiful blue skies! I'm glad Phoenix has invested (clearly) in its libraries.
ReplyDeleteChristine is right !
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about that reading room...seems so sterile and cold. But the building is rather fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThere are some good views of the city from in there.
ReplyDeleteAmazing views from there!
ReplyDeleteIt is so modern! I really love the idea of those solar collectors - absorbing the sun & shading cars at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI spent many a year down there at 1101 N. Central, KTAR/KPNX.
ReplyDeleteExcellent views from the library Sharon.. it's always good to see solar panels being used, harvesting power from the sun is the best idea ever!
