Our Daily Challenge 2-8 November: Bookcase/Bookshelf.
I found it very much trickier than I thought to make an interesting image.
I have hundreds of books which are mainly arranged by subject and size, so the choices are manifold
And of course its all flash indoors at the moment, which I HATE!
There is a slightly more creative one of a different shelf here www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/the-garden-in-winter/2651784
My somewhat more primitive and untidy contribution. Actually, significant contributions from the rest of the family as well.
Our house is under almost constant renovation. A's room is getting the treatment at the moment but having her books set up makes her happy!

These are Buddhist prayer flags that are strung across my bookshelf. Each flag presents a symbol and one word of the Sanskrit mantra 'Om mani padme hum'.
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them.
almost done organizing all my books by colour. i'm thinking of putting all the white covers in another room altogether.
What I mostly wanted as a child was a new book to read on the Christmas holidays. I think the longing must have run in our family, as these volumes belonged to my great Aunts Blanche & Lilly from the early 1900s. Back in the days of no media entertainment and no music unless you made it yourself, these books must have been treasures to them.

20070507 Photomerge of the bookshelf. I like the way the lighting and perspective get all weird. These annotations describe what's actually here. I'd like to do another set outlining where everything's _supposed_ to be. And then maybe I can actually put everything where it belongs.
Once again, I improved my setup and did some DIY to store my 'Samla' boxes in a fun way. Next step will be about a permanent fotographing setup on the other side of the LEGO room.
@Markus: Just recieved your Christmas letter, thanks! 2017 was a blast, enjoyed meeting you a few times!
