 First submission in 3 years. How time flies...

After taking a major hiatus from a full-time photography venture, I was struggling for inspiration - when my wife said "you never had this problem when you were shooting for DPC challenges... why don't you just go see what the challenges are?"

Great idea - one look at the open challenge, and [user]brchambe[/user] & I immediately headed for the Seattle Public Library. Hard to take a bad image in that place, and it's ALL blue steel (well, almost all).

Damn, I took pictures at that same library and entered it only to discover I was one day too early for submission times... I was really disappointed I couldn't enter it.

I knew right away where this was :)

Great job!!

Great job - got a very good score from me (like so many others!) I love the shapes and lines and especially the repetition of them in the shadows. Congratulations on the top ten.

Can't help but think this is the Seattle Central Library. I think there are several pics of this library in this challenge.
