thompsonkirk Posted October 31, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) For those unfamiliar with the event, it's a peculiar American harvest festival, with witches probably representing the coming of winter and the demise of all souls.

abrewer Posted November 1, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 1, 2018 Yes, a liminal time when the boundary between this world and the everlasting thinned--a time when spirits could more easily come into this world and were actively manifest as bizarre, even ghoulish, animals and behaviors.

thompsonkirk Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted November 1, 2018 Hi all, I was able to post this because it's an older 'pure' Leica image. Recently I've been using A7r2 with Leica lenses (MATE & WATE), and didn't think they belong here. I'm quite well under my circumstances: two cancer recurrences, now controlled by a new 'miracle' drug. Low energy but feeling fine. Doing more printing thn shooting lately! Warm regards, Kirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 1, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2018 Good to know you feel better. Just keep shooting and enjoy life as much as you can. BTW, I believe it is OK to post here as long as either the camera or the lens is Leica. With best wishes, Louis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 2, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 2, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kirk - Glad our treatment is going well. Louis is correct: As long as there is a Leica camera, or a Leica lens or both involved it's okay to post those photos here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted November 2, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2018 Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. (Lots more where that came from). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted November 2, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 2, 2018 Graham - I understand that the wearing of masks started then so that ghosts wold not recognize the mask wearers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
