Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is tradition. As we all know, Red Lady just finished to set up her Christmas tree. She is super late : usually the Christmas tree is up at the beginning of December but this year is an exception. This delay is caused by a total lack of christmasy feeling this year ( blame it on the pandemic… ). However, the Christmas tree is one tradition Red Lady wants to maintain at any cost ! Even if she has to set up the tree at the very last minute, 23h55 on December the 23rd, she will do it !
Have beautiful day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Shortly (next week), I will take few days off from Flickr my friends ! I want to spend some time with my family, so I will not have time to take pictures. But dont you worry, I will be back in 2022 for sure !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
This house is situated just around the corner from yesterdays truck.
Funny how that worked out now, isn't it? I have always liked the look of this house.

A little set of Russian Dolls that my husband brought back from Moscow many years ago for this week's Macro Mondays theme 'Tradition" HMM!
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images; they are very much appreciated.
Thanks to Facebook's "memories" feature, I've realized something interesting. Every year on October 2, for the past 5 years at least, it's been foggy on Cottage Lake and I have been there to capture it!
The "New Harbour" in Bremerhaven not only attracts many tourists. It has always been a meeting place for tall ships. Unfortunately it is very quiet due to Corona. Only the local ships, like here the historic cog, are moored at the quay wall.
Der "Neue Hafen" in Bremerhaven zieht mittlerweile nicht nur viele Touristen an. Schon immer war es ein Treffpunkt für Großsegler. Leider ist es durch Corona sehr ruhig. Nur die einheimischen Schiffe, wie hier die historische Kogge liegen an der Kaimauer.
Le 8 décembre, les Lyonnais déposent des lumignons à leurs fenêtres afin d' honorer la Vierge Marie, et se retrouvent pour déambuler dans les rues. Ces petits pots sont très souvent réalisés par les enfants de maternelle et primaire.

Here he commenced the construction of a planned walled city which took the next fifteen years in planning and construction of a series of royal palaces, harem, courts, a mosque, private quarters and other utility buildings. He named the city, Fatehabad, with Fateh, a word of Arabic origin in Persian, meaning "victorious." it was later called Fatehpur Sikri.

Enligt den julianska kalendern, som gällde på medeltiden – var den så kallade lussenatten 13 december den längsta natten på året i Sverige, vintersolståndet. Då härjade de mörka makterna som värst. Människorna höll sig vakna genom hela natten för att slippa drabbas av ondskans krafter. För att inte somna frossade människorna i mat.
Soppresata - In a Polish family, Christmas Eve is a fast day, therefore no meat is served at dinner that evening. The Christmas Day feast features all the meats, usually centered around a smoked ham. However, the Charcuterie board placed on he dinner table before the meal is served contains dried and smoked meats, along with a variety of cheeses and olives. But the Soppresata is the star of that board that everyone looks for and of course is gone first. But, it must be sliced paper thin in order to be enjoyed properly.
My Christmas wish: I don’t want much for Christmas. I just want the people who are reading this to be happy, health and loved.
Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends.

Azusa asobi is one of the most well known ritual performances in Shinto tradition. As an annual Spring performance, Azuma asobi was presented at Aoi matsuri Festival this afternoon. The performers wear a formal costume of konoe bukan, which is an entitled status as a security force in an imperial court before Japan's advent of modernity. The photograph was taken just before the performance began.
It is May and that means a lot of festivals are held in Kyoto, Japan. I am attending them as many as I can!
MYANMAR, Burma - Yangon,
die Kyaukhtatgyi-Pagode (Chaukhtatgyi-Tempel) ist eine buddhistische Tempelanlage in Yangon .
Die Anlage beherbergt einen der größten liegenden Buddhas Myanmars.
La ville de Lyon vénère la Vierge Marie depuis le Moyen Âge et s'est mise sous sa protection en 1643, année où le sud de la France était touché par la peste : les échevins de Lyon, le prévôt des marchands et les notables firent alors vœu de rendre hommage chaque année à la Vierge si l'épidémie de peste cessait.
En 1850, les autorités religieuses lancent un concours pour la réalisation d’une statue de la Vierge Marie, au sommet de la colline de Fourvière. Un an plus tard, ce concours est remporté par le sculpteur lyonnais Fabisch, et la date du 8 septembre 1852 est choisie pour son inauguration.
Mais au mois d’août, la Saône sort de son lit et envahit le chantier où la statue doit être réalisée. L’inauguration est donc reportée au 8 décembre, fête de l’immaculée conception. Les jours qui précèdent l'inauguration, tout est en place pour les festivités : la statue doit être illuminée par des feux de Bengale, on prévoit des feux d'artifices depuis le haut de la colline et des fanfares vont jouer dans les rues. Les notables catholiques lyonnais proposent d'illuminer les façades de leurs maisons comme cela se fait traditionnellement pour les grands évènements (entrées royales, victoires militaires...).Le jour même, les journaux annoncent le programme de la soirée et toute la ville se prépare pour l’événement. Mais le mauvais temps va à nouveau contrarier les réjouissances, contraignant les autorités religieuses à remettre l’inauguration au 12 décembre.
Malgré ce contrordre, l’enthousiasme des Lyonnais ne fut pas éteint et d'un geste spontané, dès 18h, les premières fenêtres s’allument. A 20h, la ville entière est illuminée. Une grande partie de la population descend dans la rue, joyeuse et attendrie, s’étonnant de ce geste spontané et communicatif. Les autorités religieuses suivent le mouvement et la chapelle de Notre-Dame-de-Fourvière (la basilique n'existe pas encore) apparaît alors dans la nuit.
Ce soir là, une véritable fête est née ! Chaque année désormais, le 8 décembre, les Lyonnais déposent des lumignons à leurs fenêtres et se retrouvent pour déambuler dans les rues.
