52Photos Project #3: Light and Dark

52 Photos Project

These photos were taken on November, 2008 when the family visited the graves of the departed ones.  Every year,  in the Philippines, November 1 is declared as a special non-working holiday in observance of  All Saints' Day followed by the observance of All Souls' Day on November 2.

    I always hit the link participants, but it usually takes me a few days. You have quoted some of my favorite authors, like Kate diCamillo, and paired lovely photos with them. Great interpretation of the theme!

    I really love your Light and Dark photos (found you on 52 photos project!). I immediately noticed the pretty flowers on the 52 gallery page but now that I'm here I'm really captivated by the photo of the melting candles. Great shots.
