Halloween traditions have slowly taken root in the Czech Republic over the past quarter-century. Dress-up parties are especially popular. No big gatherings could be held this year, but quite a few Jack-o'-lanterns appeared in windows, storefronts and on the streets. This picture was taken in the historic centre of Loket, a town in west Bohemia.
