She is my favorite....


This weekend we are having in festival in Iceland called Menningarnótt.

Menningarnótt or "cultural night" is a yearly event held in Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, usually on the first Saturday after the 18th of August. It was created by the Reykjavík city council, and has now become one of the largest festivals in Iceland, rivaling the celebration of Iceland's national day on June 17th.
It is estimated that as many as 100,000 people attend the annual concerts and festivities conducted in central Reykjavík, a staggeringly high percentage of Iceland's total population of 315,000 and Reykjavík's population of nearly 118,000.
The festival often consists of a main stage in the city centre and many smaller events mostly in the city's centre but also spread over the city. The highlight of the festival is often an outside concert on the main stage by 3-4 of the most popular musicians in Iceland followed by a rather glamorous fireworks show.

One of the banks in Iceland, Arion Bank asked for 500 photos to spread over the city, at every bus stop in the city and I did send in a photo of my favorite Lovely Lady. 
I hope they will allow us to keep the poster, think it looks great so big.

Have a wonderful weekend and a happy PPF

    I love that! I am doing a series of stories and art on bus rides and stops. How wonderful it would be to find one of these great prints greeting me as I waited for a ride. Thanks for sharing!
