"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..."
Sir Thomas Bodley ~ 1598
Thanks for the visits, comments and faves !!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends !!
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.
The John Rylands Research Institute and Library is a late-Victorian neo-Gothic building on Deansgate in Manchester, England. It is part of the University of Manchester. The library, which opened to the public in 1900, was founded by Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands. Wikipedia
Koning Lodewijk Napoleon koos in 1807 Utrecht als zijn residentie. Voor zijn paleis kocht hij een aantal panden, o.a. aan de Drift, en liet de "'grande galerie" en hofkapel nieuw bouwen. Onder leiding van J.D. Zocher sr. was zijn paleis snel gereed, hij woonde er echter maar een paar maanden. De balzaal werd in 1817 verbouwd tot bibiliotheek voor de universiteit. Vanaf 1960 was de grande galerie alleen nog maar in gebruik als boekenopslag. Met de recente verbouwing zijin de galerie en de voormalige kapel weer onderdeel van de bibliotheek.
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...

Some people go to famous museums to see the paintings, I go there to see the Library at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherland
This is the library of Paris' City Hall: L'Hôtel de Ville.
This City Hall was burnt in 1871, during one of these revolutionary times we had in the country, and this library was created in 1890, as part of the rebuilding.
Have a happy and creative year 2017, my dear friends ! Thanks a million for the views, the faves, the wonderful comments and most of all for sharing your beautiful artwork !
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.
Musée Cinéma et Miniature in the heart of Vieux Lyon (Lyon’s old town). This museum unites miniaturist and founder Dan Ohlmann’s two passions: the magic of film special effects and the art of miniatures.
Les miniatures de Dan Ohlmann
Toutes les scènes hyperréalistes de Dan Ohlmann sont réunies dans son musée à Lyon, fruit de 20 années de passion créatrice.
Cet ancien ébéniste et architecte d’intérieur réalise ses miniatures animé d’une seule envie : inviter le spectateur à découvrir ou retrouver différentes ambiances et atmosphères de la vie quotidienne. Dan Ohlmann révèle la poésie qui s’empare de tout lieu lorsqu’il est fortement chargé d’histoire et de vécu.
Two stone lionesses in the restored garden around the original entrance to the Morgan Library. The garden is now open when visiting the museum.
These female lions are "related" to the more familiar male lions in front of the New York Public Library because both pairs were created by Edward Clark Potter. His work can also be seen on the facade of the Brooklyn Museum.
An attractive purpose-built library donated by Andrew Carnegie. Its foundation stone was laid in 1905 and its clock tower came, with some modification, from the town's Market Hall.

The Passmore Edwards Library in Redruth.
John Passmore Edwards was a British journalist, newspaper owner and philanthropist. The son of a carpenter, he was born in 1823 in Blackwater, a small village a few miles from Redruth.
A lifelong champion of the working classes. Over the space of 14 years, 70 major buildings were established as a direct result of his bequests. They included libraries and hospitals all over the country. I remember frequently passing one of his buildings, a museum, on the Romford road at Stratford east London on my way into work. The libraries that bare his name in Cornwall are now under threat of closure by the council who want to sell off the buildings to save money. Its seems wholly unfair that something bequeathed to the people can now be sold for profit.........
I'm very grateful for all your visits and would like to thank you now for stopping by, and any comments you may leave. Much appreciated, John...
