Since it is getting closer to Halloween I figured to do some photos that in theme of the holiday. Now  originally Halloween was a Celtic celebration that was actually on November 1st but was called All Saint's Day. The tern Halloween comes from the term All Hallows Eve, which can translate into the eve of All Saints Day. So this was a big holiday for the people back then, there is legend stating that people would dress up to scare the evil spirits away so that their loved ones who had passed could transfer on into the afterlife.  So in the spirit I found some pictures with a Halloween theme.

This picture kid of creeps me out, but its a good way to show the way people see, what use to be a strictly religious holiday, into something scary and fun.

This, I believe, is a good use of your enviroment. The way the artisit took the picture is by using the theme of the pumpkin and leaves to give it a kind of, what I think, a Sleepy Hallow look. Hope you enjoy!
