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.

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’.

Founded in 2014, the quintet released one EP ‘Consequences’ in … More Dream State

Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about ‘a face in the crowd’ but with a slight twist.
