Shooting the Estherville Carnegie Library

The library in Estherville is a handsome building on a block of its own, surrounded by a nice lawn, located just south of the county courthouse and in the midst of the business district. It's really the setting where you often find the courthouse in most county seats; that's a pretty nice honor. Most often, Linda and I find the courthouse and then look for the library on a side street a block or so away, out of the hustle and bustle, not taking up a prime commercial location. The people of Estherville put their library in the center of their community; an interesting statement of value in my opinion.

Sorry about the angle of the photo. Clearly after sunset, I had to set the camera down to keep it steady while the shutter was open. It made for a nice, warm image but, without a tripod, I didn't do a very good job of levelling the camera when taking the shot.
