Halloween is the time of year when I realise how much I miss being a little kid. Playing dress-ups and overdosing on lollies and chocolate never looked so appealing. Although I'm a little old to go trick-or-treating these days, it's still fun seeing all the local kids so excited.
I love the history behind the holiday as well. It's origins date back to the Celtic festical of Samhain, which was the most important of the four quarter days in the medieval Irish calender. It was a time for stock-taking and preparing for the cold Winter months ahead. There was always a sense that this was the time of year when the physical and supernatural worlds were closest and magical things could happen... spooky!
Here's a few images to get into the 'spirit' (sorry, it had to be said) of the holiday.
Happy Halloween!
