Thanksgiving is one of the most sympathetic holidays there is. Remembrance of what there is to be grateful for is rather important – even – or maybe in particular – during life’s more bleak patches. I think it is a pity that it hasn’t been spread over the world as other North American holidays. Maybe it is becauase it isn’t – beside the food – a big, commercial holiday. I’ve decided to import a little bit of the Thanksgiving and think a little extra of absent friends as I lit the candles in the dark November evening. Happy Thanksgiving!

The photos below were taken on Boxing Day last year.

Still a beginner when it comes to photographing in the dark. These four was taken today (yesterday) with a tripod and insanely long shutter times. It was snowing and blowing so I was happy to get some shots without the lens distorted by the snow. Place is – as often – that nearby church. A country side oasis very close to the city.
