My youngest child will be a high school senior this fall. She's thinking ahead to college, so we are touring some local campuses in the next week.
Today we went to the University of Washington, with all its gorgeous Gothic architecture.
The main library especially, has always been a favorite of mine.
Built to represent a 'cathedral of learning'...
Parts of the interior also look like the inside of a cathedral.
Or a castle...
...massive stone archways and curves....
And then there is the graduate-student library!
Hogwarts anyone?
If it wasn't for all the sun-drenched windows and walls, it would feel remarkably like its wizardly counterpart...
All the beautiful, ornate details...
A magical place indeed.
