                                                            the original building in 1900.

I chose the John Ryland's Library because I remember how fascinated i was when I first visited it. The blending of both styles from the exterior made me so curious to explore the interior of the building.
The features in the interior in the stair balustrade within the atrium and the glass bridge which connects both buildings was spectacular.
Also the quiet in the library was kind of a mixture of fear and peace. The iconic building left me so curious to surf in its history.
The original building's style is full of beauty and romance.

More videos

I have really enjoyed making videos since the last project. So as a birthday gift for my brother, I made this video of his recent motor bike trip from UK to Morocco. I really wish I went with him.

The custard tart

Most of my friends are still talking about how good these portuguese custard tarts taste. They made me curious to try it so I have looked through the LUSO desert menu and will definitely go and try it.
