Holland House, London

是說二次大戰時，倫敦慘遭大轟炸，有天夜裡炸彈直接命中西倫敦的荷蘭屋圖書館，但是隔天一早，人們依然到圖書館看書，一如往常。留下了這張我覺得很有力量的照片。

Holland House, originally known as Cope Castle, was a great house in Kensington in London, situated in what is now Holland Park. Created in 1605 in the Elizabethan or Jacobean style^[a] for the diplomat Sir Walter Cope, the building later passed to the powerful Rich family, then the Fox family, under whose ownership it became a noted gathering-place for Whigs in the 19th century. The house was largely destroyed by German firebombing during the Blitz in 1940; today only the east wing and some ruins of the ground floor still remain.
