Your 'Park Ice' shot was a beauty. So comforting to know that the library still has the card catalog system in place and that it's still being used, probably only by technophobes like me haha! Like yourself and many of your readers I also had the tip off from Google that I'd run out of space and because I don't understand flicker or any other options, I opted to pay the extra fee, it's not so bad really..how funny that so many of us got the nod at the same time!!PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-10608710616771475982012-11-28T23:22:51.632-05:002012-11-28T23:22:51.632-05:00The New York Public Library is indeed a lovely and...The New York Public Library is indeed a lovely and impressive place.
