The Mid-Autumn Festival (simplified Chinese: 中秋节; traditional Chinese: 中秋節), also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by many East and Southeast Asian countries and regions. It is the second-most important holiday after Chinese New Year with a history dating back over 3,000 years, when the Emperor of China worshipped the moon for bountiful harvests.
The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn.
Lanterns of all size and shapes, are carried and displayed – symbolic beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean, egg yolk, meat or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the legend of Chang'e, the moon goddess in Chinese mythology.

Dans le cadre du festival Jam JLM 2025, ces fresques puissantes rendent un vibrant hommage aux mineurs, à l’histoire de la cité minière, et à ses habitants — ceux qui ont déjà quitté les lieux et ceux qui y vivent encore, au cœur d’un quartier en pleine mutation.
Chaque regard peint sur ces murs raconte une vie de labeur, de fierté, de solidarité. Il y a de la joie, de la nostalgie, parfois même une forme de gravité, dans cette atmosphère suspendue entre passé et avenir.

The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.

Have seen this lady at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe previously but never photographed her. Loved her look and outfit, and managed to isolate her against a plain wall with narrow depth of field.
A lot of people consider this the best project of this Water Colors edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival and took a picture from the other side...Well...like Frank Sinatra sings..."I did it my way" :-)

Is it art? Or, is it an attack from Mars?
So what is this? It's a large sculpture that was in the middle of a huge music festival called Coachella in the desert in Indio, CA. The artist is Michael Christian and he calls it... I.T.
