Today is the first day of the month of Ramadan--I can already feel the change in the air, at least in my own household, while the rest of my neighborhood goes on. I love this feeling--where my life "stops" so I can take the time to reflect on my own self as well as the plight of those around the world for a whole month, while everyone else continues to live their lives. You know how scientists use air bubbles to determine temperatures at certain periods of time in history? That's how I feel during Ramadan--this is my own air bubble in which I can stop, and reflect (sans my two best friends, food and drink ;). The next couple of pictures feature Muslims from all over the world. Happy Ramadan, everyone.

That's a really interesting way of putting it. I've never known how to quite explain how good the feeling is to people who think, "Oh that's crazy! I could never...I'm glad I don't have to." Nice pictures too!

I'm no muslim myself, but I believe the Ramadan is very beneficial for the soul. Take care x
it's nice to hear the perspective of Muslims during this time. Eid is celebrated where I live as well. Spiritual renewal is a beautiful thing to experience.
happy ramadan to you and your family. :)
Happy Ramadan Sarah! :) I remember how festive Indonesia would be around Ramadan. I used to live there for 10+ years, wish I could go back. I loved it there! Anyway, enjoy Ramadan with your loved ones! <3

Happy Ramadan!!
Sorry if this a dumb question, as I am not familiar with Ramadan and had to look it up to research it...does this mean you are fasting from dusk until dawn? How difficult is that to do?
Beautiful photographs!
Thank you for the book recommendation.
Wishing you a peaceful Ramadan.
Such a lovely post! I'd love to learn a bit more about Ramadan. I remember some peers in high school used to do it, but unfortunately I just don't know too much about it.
I love the way you describe it, though.
happy ramadan!
Ramadan Kareem!
I love the praying picture, the very first one. I find it very inspiring to watch people pray and very calming when I, myself pray.
Ramadan Kareem Sarah!
