[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"Dodole" songs are typical ritual songs used to perform during summer dry seasons. Young girls masked themselves with branches and leaves (as symbol of vegetation exuberance).They used to visit village houses and perform "dodole" ritual (singing "dodole" songs and dancing ritual dance).As respond to a ritual performance, the master of the house would come out from house and throw some water on dancers, which is ancient way of invoking the spirits of rain. "Dodole" ritual originates from pre-Christian times and represents the oldest Slavic tradition.

Mi idemo preko polja, oj dodo oj dodole
A oblaci preko neba, oj dodo, oj dodole
Da udari rosna kiša, oj dodo, oj dodole
Da orosi naša polja, oj dodo, oj dodole
I pšenicu u zimnicu, oj dodo, oj dodole
I dva pera kukuruza, oj dodo, oj dodole
Oblaci nas prestigoše, oj dodo, oj dodole
Žito, vino orosiše, oj dodo, oj dodole

Hi Zorica,

Nice tradition and nice story. I like to see shots like this of special occasions. It's bright and colorful with the greens, red, and white.

I do think that I would have cropped the photo to show more closely the girl with the lovely smile in the center. My eye is drawn away from her to the boy at the far left with the sun illuminating him. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful image representing the long summer days.

Hi Zorica,
You should have a link to uTube with you singing so us Trekers can hear the melody too :) Interesting ritual and lovely capture of these adorable kids. It is quite interesting how we try to maintain tradition to keep ourselves in touch with the past. Well captured and composed! tfs
