Journaling reads:
Seeing the Huntington Library was an amazing experience for me. To see all the history of writing and literature there in one place was inspiring. So much has come from these writings, from these books, it was awe-inspiring to think about. From the Gutenberg Bible (pictured) to Chaucer, Dante, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Twain. Documents of historical significance like The Boston Tea Party flyer, letters from Elizabeth Stanton, and the Magna Carta. Writings from Galileo, Einstein, Tesla, and Darwin. I walked away feeling like I had touched a piece of significance for the world.
...wow. The sort of thing that takes your breath away. Beautiful page to showcase this precious photo.
 
I'm quite familiar with the Huntington Library, and you've captured the feel of the place nicely with this page. It is majestic, isn't it? The Gutenberg bible is amazing, as are all the wonderful treasures there.
