Albuquerque is just over a mile high in altitude, so the blue sky effect is magnified by the polarizer.

"The Albuquerque Public Library opened on May 1, 1901, replacing the Ladies' Library Association which had operated sporadically since 1883. The new library was located in Perkins Hall, a three-story brick building at the intersection of Central and Edith which had previously housed the first Albuquerque Academy and the University of New Mexico. The building was purchased and donated to the city by local businessman Joshua Raynolds for the purpose of establishing a public library. The library opened with 2,382 books, many of which were donated by local businesspeople.[1]

By 1920 the library had outgrown its old facility, and planning began for a new building on the same site. Perkins hall was torn down, and the new library opened on March 26, 1925. Designed by Arthur Rossiter, the building was a fine example of Pueblo Revival architecture with its buttresses, towers, irregular parapet, and exposed wooden beams. Interior decorations were by Santa Fe artist Gustav Baumann.[2]

The Main Library was enlarged in 1947 and 1951. In 1948 the city purchased the former home of war correspondent Ernie Pyle and turned it into Albuquerque's first branch library. The old Main Library became the Special Collections branch in 1978 after a new facility was built downtown."

I like this Chris. The polarizer has made the sky color fantastic, and I like slight angle of the tower, and the way the trees frame it. Great shot.
