"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..."

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.
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.
William Gladstone, four times Prime Minister, left his large collection of books to the nation.
They are housed in this building, which has a residential wing. We stayed for two nights.
it was a haven of peace. No TV's here, just a radio in each bedroom.
Gladstone's Library, Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. Three miles from Chester.
The former Benedictine monastery in Wiblingen is now home to several departments of the medical faculty at the University of Ulm.
The interior of the library was completed in 1744 and is one of the most famous rococo buildings in Southern Germany. The renowned magazine Architectural Digest chose the library hall of the Wiblingen monastery as one of the 13 most beautiful in the world.

Since no tripods were allowed inside the hall I tried to capture the images handheld using the so-called "philopod" method and I was surprised how well this worked out.
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 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...
