KOKKO
This pyre is burned every year during Juhannus.
Dere Helga, a/k/a bentfeather reading at Juhannus, 2003.
I often read my own poetry at this celebration.
Finns celebrate Summer Solstice, longest day of the year.
In Finland it is a huge celebration.
Juhannus is the only day of the year where the Flag of Finland is not taken down-the sun does not set.
This picture is one of me doing a take off on the Red Hat Society.
The woman always wear a purple dress and a red hat designed by each member of the club.
That is a red nylon duster in my hat!
har har har.... dere Helga having fun!
