Nice shot, just wish the horizon was straightned.
author says:
yeah a little ...
BeSea says:
Do you know that you can edit your photos any time up until they are closed for voting?. A straightened horizon would make all the difference here and probably increase your vote score substantially.
author says:
oh thaknx for information
JannaR says:
I love the color, and the subject....but along with a leveled horizon, I think that a slightly different angle would've been a better approach. That way the sun and the boat frame aren't so aligned (trying to take attention away from each other).

El Ateneo - One of the most beautiful libraries around the world - created by Chrys Rizzo
ituated at 1860 Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio Norte, the building was designed by the architects Peró and Torres Armengol for the empresario Max Glucksman (1875-1946), and opened as a theatre named Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919. The ecleticist building features ceiling frescoes painted by the Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi, and caryatids sculpted by Troiano Troiani (whose work also graces the cornice along the Buenos Aires City Legislature.
The theatre had a seating capacity of 1,050, and staged a variety of performances, including appearances by the tango artists Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo and Ignacio Corsini. Glücksman started his own radio station in 1924 (Radio Splendid), which broadcast from the building where his recording company, Nacional Odeón, made some of the early recordings of the great tango singers of the day. In the late twenties the theatre was converted into a cinema, and in 1929 showed the first sound films presented in Argentina.
The ornate former theatre was leased by Grupo Ilhsa in February 2000. Ilhsa, through Tematika, owns El Ateneo and Yenny booksellers (totaling over 40 stores), as well as the El Ateneo publishing house. The building was subsequently renovated and converted into a book and music shop under the direction of the architect Fernando Manzone; the cinema seating was removed and in its place book shelves were installed. Following refurbishment works, the 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) El Ateneo Grand Splendid became the group's flagship store, and in 2007 sold over 700,000 books; over a million people walk through its doors annually.
Chairs are provided throughout the building, including the still-intact theatre boxes, where customers can dip into books before purchase, and there is now a café on the back of what was once the stage. The ceiling, the ornate carvings, the crimson stage curtains, the auditorium lighting and many architectural details remain. Despite the changes, the building still retains the feeling of the grand theatre it once was. The Guardian, a prominent British periodical, named El Ateneo second in its 2008 list of the World's Ten Best Bookshops. (5 years and 2224 days ago)

What a stunning looking place, as the photo started to download I was sure there had been a mistake, so I was delimited to see that it really was a library.
If I ever get to Argentina, that is one place I must visit.
author says:
This library is in Buenos Aires - Argentina...it's a great place. You can take a book, a coffee and stay there for a day...tks friiskiwi!
author says:
For the reason that the place - at first - does not looks like a library I put the "little history according to Wikipedia", so are no doubts that EL ATENEO is a library! Rgds to all!
author says:
I put at SBS two more photos, so all can be sure it's a library!
JannaR says:
Wow! I want to go there...(#3 on my bucket list now). Beautifully captured!
author says:
Tks my friend, nice weekend!
author says:
Tks all for votes and for comment, wish a great week full of good energies and great clicks!
photogirl723 says:
Wow, what a glorious place to have a library! I love theatres and when turned into a library....so much the better! Congrats on 1st place!
