Happy Halloween.

Having found some images on my hard drive which I'd taken of the Halloween decorations at a local bar and restaurant, I went back there today. This time the day was overcast and windy, perfect for witches and ghouls. Halloween has its origins in the old Celtic festival of Samhain and it was Irish emigrants who brought the tradition of carving jack-o-lanterns to America where they must have found pumpkins much easier to carve than the turnips they had used at home. Going to watch a good scary movie now 'Let Me In' - saw the original Swedish version so hope this is equally good.
Added some more images to my Halloween gallery:

Great shot! I don't watch much TV around Halloween because I hate those scary movies :-)

Pretty horrific. People really get into halloween ...... we hardly even think about it here! Maybe Irish convicts weren't allowed to celebrate their traditions.
