4th bPlace - Accordian in the Snow by David Fink

I have no explanation for this person. I can only tell you that it was COLD, she was alone, and I was not dreaming.

I love this image. It just looks like some dream. So great especially because it looks natural and obviously unposed. Where was this anyway? - michael

This is the sort of thing you see in Glastonbury. I like your composition here.
Flick.

The Mary Poppins explanation hadn't occurred to me....I was thinking more along the lines of "Sybil" or "King of Hearts". Whatever, the frayed parasol was doing little to keep the falling snow off her head, and Warren yes, she was playing her accordion quite convincingly one-handed. DF

She is the ghost of Mary Poppins...only Dick van Dyke isn't around to play the accordian for her. --Kim

It's certainly novel. How does one play the accordion while holding a parasol? - Warren

She must have been a'wassaling without a ha'penny to spare. A beauty, though. What a pity! very nice. --Kim
