I was visiting some friends who were in Oz from overseas. I always enjoy catching up with them, even if it does leave me a bit nostalgic for younger days when we all used to live in the same city. I'm still young, but I'm definitely feeling the days and the weeks moving past me at an ever increasing rate.
My visiting friend is Jewish and I was staying with her and her family.
As part of her culture, she celebrates "Hannukah" or the festival of lights.
The intricate details and reasons behind this holiday are a mystery to me, but I enjoyed being able to view the simple and beautiful act of the family lighting the candles for the menorah whilst quietly singing.
The image of the metal menorah being slowly filled with the lights is almost entrancing, my eyes being drawn the the flames.
