I was finished early at the Nokia / Carl Zeiss workshop in Aalen today. I decided to go back to Stuttgart and see if I could get my car a day early to head over to Prague. As it turned out, they could not get me the car, which meant I would be stuck out here for the day.
I sat in my hotel room (who am I kidding… i slept) and did some work. Around 7:30 I got tired of feeling bad about being here. I thought to myself “The Stadtbibliothek (municipal library) is right in the Schlossplatz (main square). They close at 9. I can either sit here and just be grumpy, or head out there and see if I can make a shot.
Got on the DB – headed to Stuttgart Hauptbanhof. Getting there, I ran full tilt to the library. I made it there with 8 minutes to spare. Went up to the middle of the place and shot this on a D800. 24-70.
Walked out and made some other shots a the Schlossplatz – stuff I wouldve never gotten had I just sat here and whined about it.
Move. The difference between having a picture and not is how motivated you are to going out there and getting it.

So true and a good reminder!…thanks for posting it!
I not only pinned this to my Modern Libraries I Dig #Pinterest board… but I’m making it the cover of the board too. http://www.pinterest.com/jasonjoseph/modern-libraries-i-dig/
Of note… your site has a smaller image than on G+ found that interesting.
Also interesting was the name of the image on your site as it showed up ( the only thing that shows up when I go to pin it ) which was “stlibrary2″Least its not DSC_34789. But a full name would probably be better in SEO..
In fact….I think I’m going to set some time aside and go though my images.. I know some of my posts suffer the same!
Cheers GREAT shot! I love that color blue when its swimming in white.
Have a safe flight back sir.
