Shab-e Yaldā ("Yalda night") is an Iranian festival celebrated on the "longest and darkest night of the year,"that is, in the night of the Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice. Calendarically, this corresponds to the night of December 20/21 (±1) in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month and the first day of the tenth month of the Iranian civil calendar.The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. The poems of Divan-e-Hafez, which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranians families, are intermingled with peoples' life and are read or recited during various occasions like this festival and at Nowruz.

My hope is intense

As intense as the throbbing vein in between my brows

It comes and goes

But when here, mistake you make no more

It stings and burns

As the emptiness that roams eleven rooms of the house

 

A cannon ball of fire I usually enter

Speed of light mostly feathered

I feel the farthest winds coming from the bottoms of the sea

No resistance towards my ignorance

No revolt against revelations

I connect deep in layers of insomniac dreams

I bend logic and mock your foul tastes

Yet my hope is the poem you choose for your mother's grave

The rose he put in my hair

Yalda arriving nonplussed

Soon after long hard hours in bed

 

It is the word of Albert Camus

Like a moment for madness of sincerity

My hope is the tear she shed when he grazed in between her breasts and confessed

Love was a myth, someone said today, a faraway lie

 

Then they detach the seeds of joy of their sons

Collect them in hard lonely balls and rush

To a hundred and so friends and colleagues and such

A red hot chili pepper sky glows above East Beckwith Mountain (12432 ft / 3789 m) clad in fall colors and reflected in Lost Lake Slough, during one of the loveliest sunsets I experienced in 2022.

Wishing everyone wonderful holidays- Good light to all!

The morning sun graces three frequently photographed buttes of Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii

(Valley of Rocks/ Monument Valley). Although clear skies had been forecast for this morning we were fortunate to have some scattered clouds to provide some color and texture to the sunrise sky. As always there was a crowd gathered at “Forrest Gump Hill” (now on Google maps). It amazes me no one has been hit there, but of course you can see cars coming from a long way away.

Happy Yalda. Longest Night....

Once again the time of various mid-winter festivals pervade the place.

 

During the reign of Henry VIII, Father Christmas was pictured as a large man in green or scarlet robes lined with fur. He typified the spirit of good cheer at Christmas, bringing peace, joy, good food and wine and revelry. As England no longer kept the feast day of Saint Nicholas on 6 December, the Father Christmas celebration was moved to 25 December to coincide with Christmas Day.

Longest night of the year

« Iran: year 38 » ( 38 years of Iranian photographs)

It is not a coincidence that Iran has so many photographers. When today’s Iranians want to express themselves, they use the tools given to them by history. The modern version of poetry is photography, of course. Images, photojournalism, documentary or art are visual poetry, if you will. With this exhibition, we want to introduce those who are shaping the image of Iran today. A very diverse mix of photographers, artists and filmmakers portraying a country still caught up in revolution and war, but also fast-changing beyond recognition. Iran is both a young and an old country at the same time. Thousands of years of history have come before the 1979 Islamic revolution. We start counting again from that year.

Iran: year 38, is to be an exhibition celebrating the culture of visual poetry embraced by Iranians.

66 iranian photographers

Meead Akhi, Azadeh Akhlaghi, Ali & Ramyar, Saba Alizadeh, Hoda Amin, Hawar Amini, Abbas Attar, Fatemeh Baigmoradi, Dadbeh Bassir, Erfan Dadkhah, Solmaz Daryani, Gohar Dashti, Alireza Fani, Hamed Farhangi, Arash Fayez, Shadi Ghadirian, Jassem Ghazbanpour, Azin Haghighi, Ghazaleh Hedayat, Bahman Jalali, Rana Javadi, Poolad Javaher Haghighi, Alborz Kazemi, Babak Kazemi, Kaveh Kazemi, Mehregan Kazemi, Arash Khamooshi, Danial Khodaie, Abbas Kiarostami, Gelareh Kiazand, Abbas Kowsari, Yalda Moaiery, Sasan Moayyedi, Mehran Mohajer, Mehdi Monem, Amir Mousavi, Sahar Mokhtari, Tahmineh Monzavi, Mehran Naghshbandi, Azin Nafarhaghighi, Mehrdad Naraghi, Morteza Niknahad & Behnam Zakeri, Ebrahim Noroozi, Mohsen Rastani, Ghazaleh Rezaei, Behnam Sadighi, Majid Saeedi, Omid Salehi, Hasan Sarbakhshian, Jalal Sepehr, Bahram Shabani, Noushin Shafiei, Hashem Shakeri, Jalal Shams Azaran, Sina Shiri, Arya Tabandehpoor, Nazanin Tabatabaee Yazdi, Maryam Takhtkeshian, Newsha Tavakolian, Sadegh Tirafkan, Mehdi Vosoughnia, Mohsen Yazdipour, Hasti Zahiri, Maryam Zandi

 

... for all you deep purple fans

 

A gorgeous New Mexico sunset graces the sky above a flooded field of indifferent Sandhill cranes, heads in the water, ignoring the blissfull scene. The San Mateo Mountains provide the blue horizon.

 

Thanks to moment's notice for willingly giving up the 80-400 lens at a critical time, as the 150-600 was not designed for sunset photography.

 

I appreciate your views, comments, and favs, and wish you a:

Happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Yalda, Kwanzaa, Yule and everything else people celebrate this time of year. Remember to go out in the woods a lot during this coming year. It won't solve your problems but it's a good way to run away from them.
