Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to bonsai59 clubI placed the candle between double glass window to get multiple reflections.

Happy new week:)

Anything history and culture related can be interesting! We have ginger bread house tradition, which is a little like nativity scene. Or that is what they have became these days. It no longer contains only the house, but all kinds of stuff around and inside of it.
And did you know the Catalan tradition to hide a little "caganer" in the nativity scene? ;-)

Marie-claire Gallet has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… clubXata club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… clubTraditional but not very elegant anyway.
Italians have a "sporca madona empestata" and "dio cantante", maybe it comes from a similar reaction to church power?
Marie-claire Gallet has replied to Xata clubSami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Xata clubAnd because we now have opened the Pandora's box of political topics, I would like to share the idea I learned from my tutors. Whatever we study from social science point of view, it is good to consider the following four aspects:
1) "Culture", which is more or less about habits and traditions how people behave.
2) "Technology", which is the ways how some individuals come up with in trying to make things easier (e.g. hammer instead of a rock).
3) "Commerce", in form of exchange of goods and/or make profit.
4) "Governance", that is based either on rational or irrational laws for the common or elite interest. Governance based on political debate is usually trying to be rational, whereas governance based on religions is often nothing but irrational politics. Although, some religious "laws" do have some rational bases, like "do not kill".
An example: People like to communicate. Some guy invents a radio in order to make it possible to communicate further away. Another guy comes up with an idea to make profit out of it, and starts selling radios to everyone. Then at some point everyone are "yelling" at the same time and only those who yell loud enough probably get their voice heard (but maybe not listened). Then comes politics, national laws, international laws, patents, and all kinds of governance that tries to get some order on all of that. Although, some politics only tries to achieve their personal interest, and keep on yelling over others...
Although, there are also those (maybe artists) who mock all of that and tries to make us see how insane that all can be =D
Xata club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… clubSon after I realized that, even with the right of vote, people's power was an illusion, power is always in the hand of an elite, money is power and religions are the richest... at least in my Peninsula.
Democracy appears to me more and more like an illusion, a political correct mask behind which the same type of dictatorship hides to rule the world even better and for their exclusive profit.
Now I am a desperate bystander, looking hands tied and eyes wide open to a world whose values I do not always understand, whose insanity I cannot change...
I just try to do my best to help around me and act accordingly to my ideas of respect for mother earth and creatures surviving on it.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Janet Brien clubSami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to klaus 040 clubThe idea to use glass reflections actually comes from this old shot of mine:
Such lanterns with round cylindrical glass look great!
This is the season of candles. The candles of Hannukah and the candles of the Chrismas time. Time for bringing light to everybody!
