First Idea for my Assignment 1 Festival ^^

After being 'explore' difference types of the festivals, one of my selected festival is the Water Festival which celebrate in Thailand.

Here are some of the pictures how they celebrating their new year.












The images shown they are splashing water to each other.







They even dance to celebrate their new year.






Besides, they will go to pay a visit and respect to their family who had passed away in the wat (temple).


The Thai New Year, or Songkran. Songkran is known as the Water Festival because they believe that water will wash away bad luck, and spend the day liberally splashing water on each other.
Songkran actually celebrate on 13rd-15th April which consider as the hottest of the year and revelers cool down with the Songkran Water Festival. 13rd of April is known as the Maha Songkran Day or the last day of the old year whereas 14th of April is Wan Nao. The New Year begins on 15th April and is known as Wan Thaloeng Sok


Why am I prefer to do Water Festival ?
When the assignment given, I plan to do this festival. I had been go to Thailand and celebrate Water Festival with the citizens at there and it was happened this year before I came to MMU. What a fantastic and unforgettable experience I ever had. They keep splashing even though they did not know each other. Some of the children even waiting the cars passed in front of their house and they splash water to the cars. I still remember the day with my family and celebrating other country festival. So, that is why I want to create a wallpaper which about water festival since I had been one of the 'participant' and I think I can express it well . ^^


But, please stay tuned.
Other ideas will be post soon.
These was just one of my ideation of festivals.
Enjoy~^^
