The fire of torches creates magic in the night of mid summer. / Around 9 pm, June 21st, 2009, Tanumshede, Sweden
Are you ready???????? The first 2 weeks in October are very special to the people of Ravenshoe because it is the time of year we celebrate Ravenshoe! / Yes indeedy, we love our town and our heritage so much we celebrate it each year, not for a day or a weekend but for 2 whole weeks! If you live in Far Nth Queensland come up to the beautiful Atherton Tablelands for the day and check out our celebrations being held. Torimba – The Festival of The Forest started out of a love for the town and a love for the timber of Ravenshoe. It is a timber town, or was, and still relies on the rainforests and timber mills to hold our town’s economy together so we say thanks to the forest for providing our town with the essence to survive. In 1982 Ravenshoe went from a logging town to a World Heritage Rainforest declared area overnight with a signature, this changed many peoples lives here forever, lucky enough, when the dust settled the hippies that came to save the rainforest and were the opposition of the folk who had logged timber for generations stayed on and gave the town new life, they managed to integrate the timber life of old into the environmenally aware generation of new and create a town unique in it’s nature to keep the 2 balanced to move forward and that is how I interpret this years theme of Looking Forward, Looking Back… Come and see the amazing Timber Display that is a judged event and draws hundreds of beautiful hand crafted pieces from tables to carved kingfishers, it will truly astound you, these are the best of the best in Australia and the product quality is top notch. This is on at Festival Hall for the whole 2 weeks, I will bring you some of these displays in the next few days. We have our Torimba Queen, a lost artform these days but our girls love it and the Mums pull out all stops to make gowns and help with floats and the Torimba Ball is a sight with all the young and old dressed up in their best for the night. Not forgetting our Miss and Master Torimba too judged last weekend and held by the Kindy. Next weekend the Torimba Parade is held, on Saturday night October 10th and that is fantastic!! This collage I made is of the floats from last year when the theme was Mask. This year the theme is Looking Forward, Looking Back, should have some cool floats for that one! I will be bringing you all the latest from this years Torimba Parade. :O) There is rides for everyone and our local Rowan who always has the Jumping Castle for our kids, everyone comes out and the town is alive with people and party, meeting and seeing everyone, stalls and food, wood chopping, bands, dancing and lots of fun for everyone! Did I say Fireworks?? One of best fireworks displays is on at the end the night too. My Mum from Wollongong was blown away at the whole Parade and Fireworks last year, she couldn’t believe how great it all was put on by a small town, reckoned it was better than any city ones she had seen. The core is the timber and our heritage and we celebrate the forest that sustains us and the people who come here, the friendly lifestyle among folk who wear no shoes, the fresh air and the cheap properties where we can live how we like building mud brick houses, showing our kids nature and growing our vegies while we rejoice in living in the rainforest and bush surrounds. Join us in Ravenshoe for 2 weeks of wonderful wood celebrations at Torimba – The Festival Of The Forest from October 1. Instead of cutting them down now we just look at the trees, but what beautiful trees they are. 2 hours drive up the Atherton Tablelands from Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia.
*Wishing all RB members PEACE, PROSPERITY, good HEALTH and WEALTH!!!!!!! * Camera: Nikon D70S, 18-70mm Diwali or Dīpāvali (Sanskrit: a row of lamps), the most colourful Indian festival, is celebrated on the Kartika Amavasya or New Moon, which falls during October/November. This year it is on the 17th October, 2009. / Diwali as we call it today comes from the Sanskrit word Deepavali meaning garland of lights. There are many legends and important events associated with this highly auspicious day. Hence it is said that any Pooja, mantra japa or stotra recital on this day gives 100 times more benifits. Actually it is a 5 day festival with each day having its own legend, customes and rituals. / The Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi took refuge in the ocean of milk when the gods were sent into exile. Lakshmi was reborn during the churning of the ocean known as *Ksheera Sagara Manthan by the Devas and Rakshasas. Lord Vishnu rescued Lakshmi from the prison of King Bali on this day. / On the day before Deepavali, Lord Krishna killed the demon king Narakaasura and rescued 16,000 women from his captivity. The celebration of this freedom is the Diwali – a victory festival. / The Pandavas returned from their 12 years of vanavas on this day and the people celebrated the day by lighting lamps. / Lord Rama killed Ravana on the Vijaya Dashami and returned to Ayodhya on this day and the people of Ayodhya celebrated the occasion by decorating the entire city with lamps. / On this day Lakshmi goes around visiting her devotees and sets up residence in the house she finds best spruced up and most hospitable. Diwali is an occasion for cleaning, painting the walls, decorating the floor with attractive rangoli designs. / The great king Vikramaditya was coronated on the this day which started the Vikrama era and the people of Ujjain celebrated it by lighting lamps. / This is also the nirvana or passing away day of the great Mahavira Jain. The lighting of the lamps is a symbolic substitute for the light knowledge that was extinguished with Mahavira’s passing. / Guru Har Gobind Ji (1595-1644), the sixth Guru of Sikhism, who was imprisoned along with 52 other Hindu kings at Fort Gwalior by Emperor Jahangir was released on this day. After freeing the other prisoners, he went to the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in the holy city of Amritsar, where he was welcomed happily by the people who lit candles and diyas to greet the Guru. / Diwali is also a harvest festival and marks the start of the Lunar year. A lot of people, especially the Gujaratis and the Marwaris, celebrate it as the starting of the New Year and close their old account books and start writing the new year account books. / One of the rituals traditionally associated with Diwali is gambling. / Buying new clothes, exchange gifts and sweets with friends and neighbors, lighting of lamps and candles and lots of fireworks and doing Lakshmi Pooja are the most common rituals associated with Diwali.
