Thanks, Renee... I was using a Gorillapod, and could only get a steady shot placing it on one of the many desks in this room---but none of those desks lined up dead-center with the arches! I'm going to take my big tripod next time, and see if I can fire off a few---I couldn't get a clear answer on whether full size tripods were permitted... #10079219

Stunning capture and design elements, Chris. I tried to get into the reading room, but they wouldn't let me in with my camera. #10079774

Bravo Chris! Bravo! With your "limitations" with symmetry you sure nailed and excellent shot. We should all have symmetry problems. #10079938

Thank you both, Leslie & Dave!
Leslie---they only allow photography inside this room two days a year---Columbus and President's. Gonna try my big tripod at Columbus day this fall! #10081428
