I know. I'm getting in a bit early for Halloween... but its a cold and rainy night here with the wind whipping off the ocean...
hallow e'en: the Celtic celebration similar to the festival of the dead; where summer's end has come. ancestors are welcomed and evil spirits warded off by lighting lanterns and dancing around bonfires wearing costumes and masks. (and perhaps eating lollies?)
sounds good to me. black and white buildings lend themselves to the eerie angle posed by nighttime spirit festivals... so enjoy them for the pixels they are, but also the celebration of the sub cultures we have created in humanity which make our life that little bit more interesting.....

I always wondered what started Halloween! That place looks amazing, where is it?? Very cool photos.
the colour pics are quiet pretty of each of those too..almost sacrilegious to make them creepy and b&w...but oh well!) Biarritz for the buildings and a little place called Bardos in the Basque region of France for the cross headstone...
