such a dreamy and at the same time realistic atmosphere created by the angle, the refinement of the details, the use of chiaroscuro that results into a tender light
in the foreground up to the golden light of the library.
It really seems like being able to stretch out a hand and to browse the books in the foreground and then go admiring and getting lost in the pleasure of observing and .. choosing.

Hi Bea,

Thank you so much for your visit here, and such a glowing comment. I am really honoured!
I do always wonder if these people who own libraries full of matching books ever get to read them. Of course they date back to the days before TV and radio. Maybe folks were smarter in those days!
I am so happy that you like it!

Hi Peter,

Perfect light and framing. My daughter has a room that looks like a library...but none of the books match ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for your visit and interesting observation..

Maybe she could start by pulling them all out from the wall so all the backs are in line with the edge of the shelf....
But I suppose more importantly that she enjoys reading from them, and learning things. Better than watching garbage on the telly!!

Have a good weekend!
