Campers await the start of a raucous national day festival in the town of Vestmannaeyjar on Iceland's Heimaey Island.
Held every year on the first weekend in August, this three-day outdoor festival began in 1874, when bad weather kept residents from traveling to the mainland to celebrate Iceland's new status as a republic. They held a celebration of their own, and the rest is history.

That's way you'll enjoy it all and
You have TIME on your side.
It's a great photo, isn't it.
I always love these microscopic arrangements, a bit like those miniature towns, one in Canberra,one in Richmond, Tasmania and I'm sure there are many elsewhere.
Love them.

Perhaps Ash will take us with her stock exchange windfalls and I'll throw in my google earnings, hang on a sec, sorry not much there but by the time we're all ready to go I should have my first $100, must be doing something wrong, methinks.

katyzzz...recommendations are to take part in forums, or would it be fora, but, basically, I am much too lazy. Using this as a forum is a terrific idea.

Nice to see you and to learn a little.
