The vignette gives a sad feel, great way to show us your emotions.

Is that a vignette? lol

This is a great shot, makes a very poignant statement and love the fading light...

i really like the softness of the light on the top of the image - very melancholy image

You could title this one "Paradise Lost." Bummer. There are too few independent bookseller's around. Fortunately we still have a few in San Francisco, so I get my fix at lunch. But my favorite ever is the Tattered Cover in Denver ... a great shop worth a visit if you're ever passing through. City Lights runs a close second, tho.

Oh how very sad indeed!! I love small quiet private bookstores like this. Shooting with that low golden light really enhances the sense of "closing" - end of the day (even if it wasn't - the light suggests it), end of the bookstore. :-(

I hate to see small local businesses closing. I like the vignette. It has a sadness about it.

Kind of poignant with the glow of light the way you captured it. This reminds me of that movie with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (where she is a bookstore owner and he is putting in the big mega chain bookstore). The little guys just can't win any more.

It's a real shame to see these small stores go away. Places like Borders just don't have the same feel to them.

Paradise isn't just closed, it's going out of business! Geesh, how sad.
