"I concluded at the last to set up my staff at the library door in Oxon; being thoroughly persuaded, that in my solitude, and surcease from the Commonwealth affairs, I could not busy myself to better purpose, than by reducing that place, which then in every part lay ruined and waste, to the public use of students..."

Light and shade are fundamental elements of photography, as they play a crucial role in creating depth, contrast, and mood in an image. In photography, light refers to the amount and quality of light that falls on a subject, while shade refers to areas of the image that are not directly illuminated by the light source.
The interplay between light and shade can create dramatic effects in a photograph, from high contrast black and white images to softly lit portraits with a range of subtle shades of gray. By manipulating the light source, photographers can create different moods and emotions in their images.
The direction and intensity of the light source can also affect the way the subject is perceived in the photograph. For example, direct light from above can create harsh shadows and highlight textures, while soft, diffused light can create a more even and flattering illumination.
In addition to natural light, photographers can also use artificial light sources such as strobes, continuous lights, and reflectors to control the light and shade in their images. By understanding the basics of light and shade, photographers can create images that are not only technically proficient but also visually striking and emotionally engaging.

This Petite Library is really cute, and you can use the building as your house too. I thought would be nice to combine it with THOR's sets for Kustom9 and The Arcade, and create a cozy space where you can share your love for books with friends, having tea or coffee :) <3

Libraries can make you escape from a life that is not kind to you. You open books and discover other worlds, with other priorities and rules. A place where you can become somebody else. Maybe you should. Maybe you can.

Books to read to my grandsons.
Thanks for all your kind comments and favs.
Having upgraded to DxO's latest offering, I decided to work some of my older, DX cropped work from a few years ago. I don't know if PhotoLab 3's updates handled the older stuff a bit better than I remember, or whether it was just plain fun to re - visit some older stuff because I haven't been out in a while...

A library can be a kind of departure lounge. Books may take you away from what you think is your home. You may be taken somewhere else. A place you don't know and where your faith is going to be tested.
