I had to look it up. I’ll have to see if I can get a copy. Looks interesting! Well done image. Congrats on TT.

Thanks, not really studying anymore, long time ago, now just pretending ;-) Still have an interest in a lot of subjects though, especially science.

Actually in the afternoon, but in a darkened room. Main light source is an e-reader. Some daylight came in and the image was a bit brighter than shown. The antique plate effect added a vignette effect.
