Happy Thanksgiving
To all those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving. Until we moved to the United States, we had never heard of it, but here it's a major holiday, with most companies giving employees a four-day weekend. It's a time to spend with family and friends, and to give thanks for our blessings. I don't have a themed photograph for it, but since this is a photo blog here's a 1986 photo of Mount Rainier scanned from an old slide.

Lovely shot Al, he looks like he has a lenticular hat on. I'd love to know where you hail from.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving whether you slaughter a turkey or not.
Yes, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Africa (Christmas is big and celebrated on 25 December) but Thanksgiving looks like a nice celebration. Christmas has become commercialized in the First World Countries. Fortunately we live in Third World East Africa so it will be dinner with friends, at midday around the pool. I love your photo of Mt Rainier. Have a great day and Happy Thanksgiving to you. Greetings Jo (Tanzania)
ReplyDeleteAh, love your swirly clouds, Al!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving -- it is a good time to be with family!! I'll be enjoying dinner with my youngest son and his new wife and she's a terrific cook so I know I'll enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian, we had our Thanksgiving in October. We are in Florida at the moment for American Thanksgiving and find it amazing that people wish each other Happy Thanksgiving. But then there's the whole Black Friday shopping that is ridiculous to me.

ReplyDeleteAwesome shot... really unusual clouds!

Here in Brazil we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I think that to give thanks for our blessings is a beautiful celebration.
Wishing you a happy family holiday!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely image!! I have never lived near the mountains, so I do not know their moods...
ReplyDelete«Louis» hopes that you had a most enjoyable Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHe thanks you for your kind comments at his Gearhead Tuesday post. If yo are interested in Packards, he recently completed this series about the marque.
«Louis» forgot to mention that he has previously written about the Plymouth XNR. It has a very interesting history, including having been owned for a time by the Shah of Iran.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and perfect for Thanksgiving or any day at all.
ReplyDeleteGreat image!!
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly lovely--that cloud formation is amazing! I have friends who live near the mountain. They also caught similar photos of this wonderful mountain and odd cloud formation.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this so much.
