Halloween origins from the Celtic holiday Samhain which over centuries turned from a pagan ritual to a week of costumed parties, trick-or-treating and jack-o-lanterns. Whereas adults tend to celebrate Halloween with costumes and parties, children often walk from door to door in their neighbourhood, dressed as witches, ghosts or vampires, to ask homeowners for treats,Continue reading “‘Trick Or Treat’ – Happy Halloween”

Prolific – photo challenge
Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about something ‘prolific‘ – for me it is about something successful. The first things that came onto my mind were ‘U2’ and ‘Dublin’. Being such a successful band, having fans from all over the world traveling to their hometown to follow the footsteps of music historyContinue reading “Prolific – photo challenge”
Smile – photo challenge
Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post had the topic ‘smile’ 🙂 As I currently attended a guided street art tour with Shoreditch Street Art Tours I got some inspiration for the challenge seeing all these amazing pieces of art. With the information we got during the three and a half hours walk throughContinue reading “Smile – photo challenge”
Happy Easter
Happy Easter! Even though I know that Easter is a religious Christian tradition, I always wondered how colourful eggs rabbits and sweets became the main Easter symbols and traditions nowadays of the holiday, as well as what’s the story behind them. Easter is traditionally the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. The exact origins of theContinue reading “Happy Easter”

The main band of the show at the Night ClubContinue reading “Confessions Of A Traitor”

Founded in 2014, the quintet released one EP ‘Consequences’ inContinue reading “Dream State”

A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge
Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about ‘a face in the crowd’ but with a slight twist. Instead of exposing the person on the picture, anonymity is the key – meaning capturing a person’s shadow, picturing them from behind, or when they hide their faces. I really liked this idea, especially asContinue reading “A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge”
Pedestrian – photo challenge
This week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post is about ‘pedestrian’. The word is most commonly used to describe a person who is walking. However, as an adjective, the word means ‘dull’ and describes something that is boring or dry. Maybe the connection between the two definitions of the word is that a person walkingContinue reading “Pedestrian – photo challenge”
