Description
A bookshelf full of old legends, full of words and wisdom.I love that silvern thing there, with the green orb of glass, which I bought in some Antiques-shop years ago.
It's a bookmark. Normally an Ex Libris is some kind of paper or label with the name of the owner, pasted on the first page of a book, but it's engraved there on a silvern coin-thing.
And yeah, it's my bookshelf. ^^

Mit ner kuscheligen Ledercouch und vielen hohen Leitern!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... stimmt. Leitern wären irgendwie nützlich. Daran hatte ich jetzt gar nicht gedacht.^^
Und eine Ledercouch harmoniert sicher toll mit den alten Einbänden.

Hast du da auch immer so das Bild einer alten Bibliothek mit gemütlichen Sitzecken und kleinen Lampen vor dem geistigen Auge? Vielleicht noch ein gutes Glas Wein und dann kann man sich schööööön in ein Buch vertiefen... Vielleicht in einer Nische, dass man nicht direkt im Raum sitzt. Der ganze Raum voller Wissen. *woahhhh*

Oh ja, richtig verwinkelt und mit warmen Zwilicht. Die NFensternischen, die man früher im mittelalterlichen Palas einer Burg finden konnte bieten sich da an, nur mit mehr Holz.^^

S darf aber nicht zu dunkel sein, weil sonst macht man sich die Augen kaputt oder muss s Licht zu dolle hochdrehen und das macht dann wieder die tolle, gemütliche Stimmung kaputt. An einem Regentag oder wenns sonst irgendwie ungemütlich draußen ist, darf das Fenster auch größer sein, dass mans drin richtig genießen kann. So mit Regen, der an das Fenster prasselt.

I worked quite a lot on the lightning.
Yeah, I love those little objects. That green orb was the initiation to the photograph.

yes the lighting completely makes it; any different, like slightly over exposed or even a different angle,tbh i don't think i'd like it as much... i'd love to include it in my next feature

Whatever... this is by far the best picture I had taken...and it was the first I shot just for deviantart... since then I try hard to meet my own expectations.

i really like the colours of that picture.
i'm totally in the mood now to read a book
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.^^
That's really great an effect from looking at this.
I collect these old books because they seem to promis me something when I look at these fine lines and decorations, black or golden, shimmering on the coloured binding... as vivid as the thoughts printed inside the pages.

^^Thanks.
Well...the biggest one appears to be an old cookbook.^^
so...not that gripping^^... but very useful if you actually cook for lords and ladies in your spare time^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
An old cookbook sounds great! Whoa! When was it printed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... it is not that old, it's a reprint from 1997, but the design and content is from 1885.
Although I posses older books, I couldn't lay my hands on a real old cookbook.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The design looks old enough for me.

Jep. True.
Mostly... the new ones lack style and quality in crafting.
A book needs time and compassion. I think binding a book needs to get more on the level of the content.
Oh... what a pity is today
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I totally agree with you! Today many things lack quality.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes,... at least here you can be unique and artistic and that's cool I think on deviantart.

Wonderful photo... And the books...mmmm....
I'm a booklover and a bookworm, and have more than 200 (maybe more 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks^^
I'm a booklover too! ...well maybe you could tell already...^^
200 is something^^.... I couldn't tell right now, how much I have at home....maybe something similar.
Crap..now I have to count them.^^

The light in the picture really contributes to the atmosphere of the picture. And the green thingy ( not sure what it is !? ) is quite eye-catching.
Makes me wish I would own such a beautiful bookshelf.

It's green Glas and it looks beautiful, when the daylight is caught in it.

The colors are beautiful!
And I love it when books that are bound like that. xD

Yes. Most of the new books cannot call such soulfull faces their own. It's a pity.
