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.

Crazy Tuesday theme Libraries and Books
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...
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.
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.
The main reading room on the 3rd floor at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue.
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...

The library of Celsus in Efes, in Western Turkey. Ancient Greek city on a site that has been occupied for over 8000 years. During the Greek Period it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. Ephesus was one of seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of St. John may have been written in Ephesus and the ruins of the Basilica of St. John and his burial site are nearby. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was located here. The theatre of Ephesus could hold 25,000 people. Check out my Ephesus album for more images.
