This is the ceiling of the atrium at Borders Bookstore by Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. My friend's fiancé had a meeting in the area yesterday afternoon so she and I met up at the bookstore to hang out until he was done. Then all three of us went to dinner later in the evening.So how has your week been so far?

That's a very flash bookstore. I lose all track of time once I enter a bookstore.
on dirait un musée, elle est superbe cette librairie.
it looks like a museum, it is superb this library.
That is one neat bookstore ceiling.

Swell columns. You know I love columns AND bookstores. My week's going well, thanks for asking. And yours??
Hi Ming...Hmmmm New York has very NICE Borders book store!!! And so it should...I love book stores and could hang out there for hours...
I might never leave this bookstore! Do they serve coffee and pastries? Have not seen one like this with the "museum" columns and ceiling. Adding this stop to my NYC list of to do's this winter.
Thanks, Ming. Another great photo.

Doris, e-mail me so we can meet up when you are here for vacation this winter.
Week's been pretty quiet so far -- no Dalai Lama encounters like last week! Great photo, Ming. Do you know what this space was originally?
Wow! The ceiling of the Borders Bookstore is just stunning! I would like to visiting this Bookstore!
Impressive celling for a book shop!
What a ceiling!! (My week? Just back from a few days "off".)
It does have a swish London hotel feel. So much better it's a bookstore. Apart from idiots asking me to stop writing my blog and posting pictures of litter and grafitti, just fine. I decided to keep the comments on. Especailly the leave the island ones. I'd be safer in New York!
What Marley and sonia said!
Week has been so-so. Am tired, trying to keep from getting a cold, lacking motivation at work despite having a big project....
so where did you go for dinner?
Ming....pop back over and scroll down to July l5th I believe...a nice shot of the pool on that post :)I'll try to post some more soon....
Great ceiling.
Did you just happen to have your camera or did you already know the ceiling existed? Nice perspective.
A great ceiling shot!! hope your dinner was good!!!Loved your nun joke over at Marley's.....that was a fun blog of the nuns.....
This is week 2 at my new job. I miss being unemployed (but living on my severence)
One of the few things I miss, living in France, are English/American book stores. That ceiling is incredibly impressive. Would love to be there browsing the shelves.
Used to enjoy hanging out in Borders when I was CA. There is no such enjoyment here in TW. I'm just not into Chinese books/mags. :O
