Library shelves

Most of the library was stripped bare - even the shelving had been removed. But one corner retained a bit of library substance.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

I always find it sad that books can be abandoned. Knowledge is in the books and they have a very special history in the lives of those who read them

Too bad everything has been destroyed, but you were able to give an impression of how it once was.

One wonders what the titles are of these unwanted books. Fact or fiction?

I think it’s because books are so heavy. It’s easier to leave them behind. Nice shot.

It makes you wonder why these books were left there. An interesting image with great textures. It creates a lot of interest and questions.

the picture is pretty, but I am always saddened when I see so many books that will no longer be open and are thus lost
