Not a leaf
From a quick glance from a distance, one would have thought it is just another dead leaf. But at closer inspection, the asymmetrical pattern and the two spots are dead giveaways that its not a leaf. Not that bad a camouflage though, with some dried leaves lying next to it will make the moths disguise even more realistic. The moth is a leaf mimic. I'm no entomologist, so I'm guessing it is a specie of Oreta (subfamily Oretinae), do correct me if I'm wrong.

The new Stuttgart City Library
I like libraries because I have always loved books. Years back when I was still schooling, I even volunteered myself to be a librarian so that I can be around books. It has been more than two decades since I last stepped into a library though. Nowadays, I do most of my reading online and apart from that I occasionally frequent bookstores such as MPH and Borders. I could easily spend hours in those places.
Came across these pictures while surfing the net. The new Stuttgart City Library is nothing impressive but still it seems interesting to me.
