Description
Lets call this one "Dreams in the Attic.
Little Andreas was invited to his godfathers place,and as this was also his fathers birthplace the house was fairly old,and had lots of treasures for the little devil.
One day he came upon the attic,his cousin forgot to lock the tiny door,almost invisible this door was, as it was in a corner and had the same tapisserie than the walls.
And what a world he discovered,Tonzz of books,lots of them illustrated.wow……..this was the place where he would spend most of his vacation from now on.all his heroes became alive as he started reading and his imagination took over the control.
Another chapter out of my childhood,I remember beeing in my godhathers place ( my fathers brother ) ,when I was 5-6 years old.there I got at least no beatings*,as my fathers brother was occupied beating his own wife lol( sad but true ) ,anyway I discovered a whole new world.i stumbled in the attic upon a ton of “illustrated classics”as they where called,I read ivanhoe,robin hood,treasure island,later on charles dickens and others when I was fairly young.and I spend a lot of time in the attic,maybe my fathers sister in law was glad that I was a quiet child and occupied with myself,she always made fine cooking and lots of times she gave me an extra chocolate,very nice woman indeed.
Maybe that was the gift to me,as it shaped my brains and in the same time I was able to flee reality,along with the ability of writing and reading I was one of the best scholars indeed (no bragging).later on my father opened me his own library and I learned a lot reading history etc.
I think when I was 6 santa decided to give me only books for xmas and not stupid robots and plastic toy weapons to shoot around and make noise-lol.
I later had my phase in life when I played with robots and soldiers in my egoshooters…on the PC…..hehehe,and today I play daz studio
And I still “steal”me an hour per day to read a real book “paper” you know??lol.
By the way I saw this kindle ebook reader on the adds, anyone has experience with this gadget??
* one time my fathers mother slapped me that was the first and only time I ever saw the fat cow.i never forget it,and who knows what happened to my father in his youth.this shall not be an excuse for him,but helps me understand why he became the person he was later.

Lovely work on this one Rene, glad you found a "secret" place where you could loose yourself in books and you still have the love of reading if only for an hour or so a day.. Have a super day my friend!!
Wonderful work,
Remember Nancy Drew series...Always like mysteries.. Great image. Sad story but your childhood made you a better person!
Eine schöne Geschichte. Prima verpixelt. Frohe Weihnachten für Dich und Deine Lieben.
A lovely scene and touching story ... happy Christmas René :-)
Superbe scène dans le grenier des livres et des souvenirs! Happy Holidays, René!
Quelle jolie phrase vient d'écrire Jean: " Le grenier des livres et des souvenirs". C'est tour à fait cela aussi je n'ajoute rien! :)
looks like someone is about to break a bubble in todays process
I understand. I had my closet. It was a nice safe place.
A very touching scene, René, little Andreas is a great reader and then he has lovely dreams! Perfectly done! Merry Christmas to you, René!
Marvelous image Rene, and thank you so much for sharing the insite into your childhood once more. Your ability to survive and even become all the stronger due to your upbringing is an inspiration to many reading this. I have never seen a kindle, but I do have an Ipad and they can work the same as an Ipad. Actually it is a good way to have right at your finger tips several books. So far on my Ipad I have 28 books downloaded on it and they actually take up only a miniscule amount of the available momory. If I wanted to carry all these books even in paperback with me I would need an awful large and heavy bag. Reading on the machine itself I thought at first would not be as pleasureable as holding an actual book, but that is not the case at all. The pages turn just like a book does, you can put a book mark any where you want so you can get back to a certain page. I also have several medical books downloaded for work, you can highlight any passage you want and also make notes as you go. I can see if they had this when I was still in university it would have been far better than having to carry 20 pounds of text books around campus. Also the cost is much smaller since there is no printing charges. One of the text books i bought this year for renodialysis in hardcopy costs $320.00. The electronic version costs 18.99, and also comes with links to training videos the hardcopy never could.
Süss & fluffy! Wenn ich meine Jugend verpixeln würde, bräuchte ich bestimmt 100 Grafiken und mehr, aber die kann ich hier niemanden zumuten!
Excellent image! Books are a wonderful way to escape to someplace else :) I love my books, dont think I could get by with out them! lol
You did a wonderful job on this very moving story Rene, it really did hit home with so many people.
Great image
Very cool image and story. My parents kept old newspapers in the attic. I remember reading the front page story of Robert Kennedy's assassination. They posted some pretty graphic photos!!!
splend image and story!! Merry Christmas to you and Ute!! Lots of love!!
exceptional job on this Rene, super idea and well done. Merry Christmas..
A most tender walk down the dusty paths with you my friend.... I can relate to the childhood. My own father, a drunk and wife beater, was frightening to me and my 6 brothers and sisters. I applaud you for finding the escape possible in books, and having made the choice to not follow the wrong path into that darkness. seth
Fantastic story and your own personal history. the image is wonderful My parents and an extensive library and it had a lot of the same books you listed, plus I was allowed to go to the Public Library and check books out to take home and read.
Hey! that boy have a very clean attic!:-))Great render René,I would like to thank you so much for sharing the your childhood memories,As a friend,I accept this, as a privilege my friend!:-)Because of our moron contractors we don't have any useful attic in mostly of our houses! Actually I really love the attics:-))))Of course I understand modern life's needs but, I believe,nothing can not replace the real books!Books are very important for in the process of being human,especially for the children,Well..thank you for your frank personality,and friendship René I'll be continue to view your fantastic "Spackopolis" series my friend,Merry Christmas and peacefull,healthy and happy year to you and Ute:-)))))
a wonderful scene! I really love this. hugs
This is a marvelous story Rene, the image is really perfect, thank you for sharing with us!
I used to real A LOT when I was younger, but it was half and half with my love of drawing. I did a lot of things when I was younger. But now I can't do all those things as I used to. Get a Kindle and not one of the other alternatives. Unfortunately I got one of the alterntatives called a Kobo Reader. It's not bad, but it's kinda limited as it can only really read in the epub format, which is not readable in the Kindle and vice-versa. Merry SpackoChristmas my friend!
Very good scene and story!
I read paper books. I don't know if I would like an e-reader, Rene.
kindle ebook reader is good and it will keep your place. my brother show me his and he travel around the world. He even downloaded it for me on my computer and it works good. look like you had a C.S. Lewis experience of the "The Chronicles of Narnia" Merry Christmas
What we do all the time - we escape from reality.. But who can prove that our imaginary world is not real?
A fascinating remeninscence of your childhood. I like this render as well! Very nicely put together! Your creativity really shines through on this fine work of art, Rene! Most excellent!
