Grandeur

Uploaded: August 11, 2011

Description

The magnificent Great Hall as seen from the 3rd floor of the Library of Congress.
I specifically wanted the skylights in the shot, hence the upward angle and resulting "leaning" of the columns.

Exif: F Number: 14, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
