    Have a great New Year! Your fireworks are beautiful, as are the photos in the post below. It's lovely to see such things, as I'm never likely to see them in person!

    I saw yesterday how the Dutch Hindus celebrated Diwali together with Christians, Jews and Moslims. It was a very cheerful party.

    I've loved fireworks ever since I was a child. I've recently learned it's not that easy to photograph them so I appreciate these shots. :-)

    Happy Diwali!!!

    Glad to share this message that I received from a friend on Diwali Day. In Malaysia, we tend to call it Deepavali.

    "Lights are of Love, Wisdom, Comfort & Energy. I wish you and your love ones lots of Lights on this beautiful Deepavali Day!"
