This Photo of the Week was captured in the Rose Main Reading Room at the New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in New York City, USA. The use of symmetry in its composition gives the scene a sense of harmony. By placing the walkway in the center of the composition, both sides of the library appear to mirror each other, creating balance. It was photographed by Local Guide Carmelo Squillaci.

The world is apparently smaller than it seems @PennyChristie . Do you have any pictures from the library? I haven’t been to a library quite like this one before. It sure looks epic. What was the feeling when you went in? Were you excited?
@Christina-NYC I was super excited to visit the New York Public Library. Every room is so unique and stunning to look at. A couple of my favourite things to see was a perfectly framed view of the Empire State Building through a beautiful window. My absolute favourite thing though was seeing the original Winnie the Pooh toys owned by the real Christopher Robin. So cool.
Hello Christina , could we meet and talk about photography. I would be a great time as we edit maps and help change lives whether directly or indirectly
