Arches
Baldwin’s Book Barn, located in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is the most interesting book store that I have ever been in. An old restored barn, built in 1822, it is 5 stories high. These arched doorways are on the 1st floor. Every story is packed with books and stories (pun intended)! Nooks and crannies with chairs and old artifacts make this barn not only an exceptional place to shop, but it is also a wonderful treasure trove for anyone who is interested in history. Many books are rare first editions. Filled with ambience, charm and rustic stone walls paired with original random width floors, the book store breathes to life the energy of an era gone by. For more information see www. bookbarn.com. This photograph was shot with a Canon 40D.

You have definitely captured the essence of this place. I really love the point of view you selected for your image. The photo is interesting from books in the foreground to the far window. An excellent image, Polly!!!
