Each semester the Daily Lobo photo desk take over an issue at the end of the semester to tell a story visually. Here is this semester's edition.

Hindi Thanksgiving by Biraj Rawal
Hinduism is a dominant religion in South Asia, most notably in Nepal and India. It is considered the world's third-largest religion by population after Christianity and Islam.
On the occasion of the Thanksgiving festival Thursday, Nepali UNM students were invited into the home of Sunil Thapa, who is resident of Albuquerque of Nepalese origin.
Although followers of Hinduism don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in a religious manner, most of the Nepali UNM students invited to the event enjoyed the celebration in a Nepali way. Participants enjoyed special Nepalese dishes, and the event concluded with dancing and playing cards.

Season of lights by Derek Toledo
The New Mexico River of Lights is a revered tradition for many people living in and visiting the Land of Enchantment. Starting originally in 1997, it has become a special yearly occurrence that offers live music, arts and crafts, a Polar Bear Express train and, of course, a river of lights. Displays include running animals, snowmen, luminarias and Snoopy.
This year’s presentation contains a total of 400 light sculptures. It will run from the end of November to the beginning of January.

Football something by Nick Fojud
For the first time since 2007, the New Mexico football team is going to a bowl game. The Lobos also locked up their first winning season since 2007 with a 7-5 mark. Upsets against Utah State, Boise State and Air Force led them to where they are now.
Along the way the team suffered major highs and lows, from having the stadium roar during their comeback against Hawaii, to being knocked out of the Mountain West Championship game after playing Colorado State.
