The sunset light on the landing bookshelf

As mid-summer approaches the setting sun moves westwards and for a few weeks it lights up the small bookshelf at the top of the stairs. I love the effect of the warm light. It also shines through the downstairs front room but the scene is far less interesting.

The books on this bookcase are nearly all Helena's. She is an avid reader especially of novels, whereas my books are rather more limited in range with only limited fiction, mostly crime. Perhaps I'll show a few of mine one day.
