The photo was taken at the Rolex Learning Center for the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausan in Switzerland, and posted at The Centered Librarian.
The Rolex Learning Center houses a library containing 500,000 printed works, and is one of the largest scientific collections in Europe. A state-of-the-art multimedia library gives patrons access to 10,000 online journals and 17,000 e-books, with advanced lending machines and systems for bibliographic search.

Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
Even though I've just revealed myself a geek!

My jaw just fell open. Those aren't library shelves- that's a book cliff! wow....
I'm in LOVE!
My friend tweeted me this picture the other day! I just about had a heart attacked!
You are not alone in your feelings! If you're a geek, then so am I.
Holy cow indeed! And a lovely rhyme you created for this occasion as well. It's definitely every bookworm's heaven.
