Natural-light architectural travel photograph, 3:2 landscape. A small open-air reading nook in an urban library courtyard: one curved honey-coloured timber bench with a muted olive seat cushion, tucked against a pale limestone wall beside a recessed bookshelf protected by a deep masonry overhang. A modest selection of plain clothbound books with unmarked spines makes the library use unmistakable. Photograph from courtyard level at a gentle oblique angle with a 35mm lens; the bench is the clear focal point, occupying the right two-thirds, with uncluttered stone paving on the left. Low golden-hour sunlight enters from the left, grazing the timber and stone and casting one long soft-edged shadow. Natural cream, oak and olive palette, believable weathering, moderate depth of field, polished but unposed atmosphere. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
