dawn in the groovy grove (2)
...previously on pixelsNext to the Observatory Grove is Stockholm Public Library by architect Gunnar Asplund. This is a classic example of Swedish architecture and current plans to have the library extended have stirred some debate. Behold a new day dawning for 2 million volumes of the finest literature. See more?

I'm just coming back from Stockholm and I've seen this library for real now! It's quite a nice building and it takes a great warm orange shade in the sun.
I love the color of this building! What a great shot.. I would definately visit that library
I love this magical night shot, and the title.
It is an intriguing building. It certainly is more architecturally interesting than the square library boxes we have here in the Midwest. Thanks for sharing. BTW--I dig your title,too!
Knowing we're next to the Observatory Grove, a casual observer might in fact think this *is* the Observatory. The library building has a very characteristic shape.
BLEEDING ORANGE: Good to hear that you had an opportunity to visit! Nothing beats reality.
Carrie Hayes: Architecture is perfectly subjective of course but I'd say it's probably the best 20th century building in town.
babooshka: Glad you enjoyed the title... ;)
Coltrane_lives: We've got quite a few square boxes as well. Not in this grove though!
Thanks guys for commenting. We'll return to the Groovy Grove once again on Monday.
