Teacher's Mug and Attendance Sheets at Dawn

Soft, overcast dawn light floods the wooden surface of a campus library reading room in Bamenda, illuminating a ceramic mug beside a stack of attendance sheets. Condensation beads along the edge of a nearby glass window, marking the cool turn of the season. The paper documents lie flat, their printed names and columns of ink clearly visible under the diffused glow. A shallow depth of field blurs the background rows of bookshelves, keeping focus on the morning preparation. The texture of the paper contrasts with the smooth glaze of the mug, while the faint reflection of the window frame appears on the glass surface. The scene rests in quiet readiness before the day begins.
