Leather Encyclopedias on Mahogany Shelf in Lagos

Pale dawn light spills across a polished mahogany bookshelf, illuminating a row of leather-bound encyclopedias standing upright. The warm wood grain contrasts with the deep brown and faded tan spines of the books, their gold lettering catching the soft glow. Behind the shelf, a sunlit living room reveals hints of a Lagos home during the wet season, with humid air settling on nearby surfaces. Soft reflections shimmer on the glossy wood and glass, while the shallow depth of field blurs the background into a wash of gentle shadows. A thin dust mote floats in the beam of light, resting against the edge of the nearest book cover.
