Indonesia-Halloween
A carved up pumpkin, or jack-o-lantern is displayed during a jack-o-lantern competition to celebrate Halloween in Jakarta on October 31, 2009. Halloween -- a named taken from " All Hallows Even" falls on the day before All Saints Day on November 1 -- a holiday when Christians remember their deceased loved ones. Although the fete is largely devoid of religious meaning today, its antecedents are in fact pagan, with origins in ancient Celtic observances marking the end of summer and, some say, paying homage to the netherworld.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to Jakarta on October 31,2009, where the spirit of Halloween is alive and thriving. A beautifully carved pumpkin, or jack-o-lantern, takes center stage in a vibrant jack-o-lantern competition. The intricate details etched into its orange skin mesmerize all who lay eyes upon it. Halloween, derived from "All Hallows Even" holds a special place in the hearts of Christians as they remember their departed loved ones on All Saints Day. However, today's festivities have shed much of their religious significance and embraced a more secular nature. Yet beneath the surface lies ancient Celtic roots that honor the end of summer and perhaps even pay homage to realms beyond our own. Photographer Adek Berry captures this moment with finesse and artistry. His lens zooms in close to reveal every curve and groove on the pumpkin's face - an embodiment of creativity and craftsmanship. The warm glow emanating from within adds an enchanting touch to this already bewitching scene. As we gaze at this horizontal composition, we can't help but imagine the excitement buzzing through Jakarta during that Halloween night. Fancy dress costumes fill the streets while children eagerly anticipate trick-or-treating adventures. This photograph encapsulates both tradition and modernity seamlessly intertwined; it serves as a testament to how cultures evolve yet still hold onto cherished customs. Adek Berry's snapshot immortalizes not just a single event but also captures the essence of Halloween itself – a celebration
