Books, Beach & Surfers - what a great combination :p
At Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. As part of the 30-th-birthday celebrations of one of the IKEA’s most popular bookshelves, the BILLY, the Scandinavian furniture giant placed 30 of the bookcases on the sands of Bondi beach in Sydney. You could bring your own books and swap them for ones on the shelf, or just take a book and give a gold coin donation, with proceeds going to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation.

✿ All that you take from me is coffee and tea and sympathy... and sometimes a little bit of chocolate. Have a happy browsing! ✿
✿ I do not own most of the photos I post. If some of them belong to you or you see a miscredit, please tell me, so I could fix it or remove the photo. :)
✿ All pictures belong to their rightful owners, so please, don't remove the credits I give them.
✿ I own nothing, unless stated. ✿
When I see a beautiful book, when I smell the scent of a freshly printed or a very old book, when I feel the paper between my fingers, when I hear the rustling of the pages turning, I remember why I'll always love the printed world.
