Monday was the start of a five day festival celebrated by Hindus around the world that celebrates the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil. Diwali is a national holiday in India and also marks the start of the Hindu New Year. It is a festival of lights. That's why I thought this photograph was a good choice to mark the holiday. I learned about this holiday from some of my friends who are involved in astronomy and I really love what this holiday celebrates, especially in light of the difficult times we are going through, where many people are not kind to each other.

Love this photo with the rain, stormy waves and the way the beautiful lighting reflects on the sidewalk. I did not know about this Hindu tradition. A wonderful concept to celebrate! Trace
