Hi, lovers of travel and photography!

You are kindly invited to participate in edition #16 of TRAVEL CONTEST and the theme today is "HOLIDAYS" :)

Show everyone how people around the world or yourself ;) celebrate those special days at the end of the year, the lights, the colors, the emotions, the atmosphere, the joy, etc.

Please note that as a pet owner, or I should rather say a person owned by his pets, I do not approve the fireworks, as I have seen many times the damages they cause to our beloved animal friends. Fireworks are beautiful to watch but we have to realize their downsides. Also, won't you agree it isn't justified to spend so much money for a few seconds of show? Not to mention the pollution they cause.

Feel free to interpret the theme in every way you like, I hope to inspire more people to join this edition of the contest!
