Sitting on the Copenhagen harbor, The Royal Library is the national library of Denmark and the academic library of the University of Copenhagen.  It is known as the Black Diamond building designed by Danish architects schmidt hammer lassen, it also houses a concert hall.  It is among the largest libraries in the world and the largest in the Nordic countries.

Hallway for the Enslaved

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

While visiting family in Charleston, SC, we toured the Aiken-Rhett Museum. The house and its surviving furnishings offer a compelling portrait of urban life in antebellum Charleston. Purchased by the Historic Charleston Foundation in 1975, the house is being “preserved as found” and represents a stark example of the wealthy vs the urban enslaved, c 1820s.

I’ll be sharing more from this tour as the weeks go on, but for now this hallway connected the quarters of the enslaved as well as the kitchen and laundry.

Of course I forgot my camera, so all photos from the Aiken-Rhett Museum are from my Samsung Galaxy.

Sunbird?

Shooting into the sun is usually not a great idea but, sometimes you get an interesting result. In this case, the sun flare looks a bit like a bird.
