Greetings all my DP-friends! Today Norway celebrates it's "birthday" - it's Constitution Day. I am wearing my bunad from Rogaland (western Norway). It's one of the many national costumes we have.As you can see the weather is lovely, and I'm happy for that. Last year it rained a lot. Not as much fun as having nice weather. :-)
Very soon many children and music bands/brass bands will gather in a huge parade downtown. Norwegians who live abroad usually celebrate this day in the country they're staying - so you might see a parade where you live as well.
I will take a lot of photos today and show you later.
I wish you all a wonderful day!

I guess birthday wishes are in order. I like the photograph of yourself and the background is very nice too. It does look like a very nice day for the event.

tanty: Gratulerer med dagen (belated) to you as well! I hope you did have a wonderful celebration with your family. I love my brand new bunad. My dad came all the way from Stavanger to see me wearing it for the first time. That was really nice. :)

The cloths are beautiful... as you are too! I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures from this celebration.
hi - come over & have a look at madison daily photo - Syttende Mai was just celebrated in Stoughton, a small town very heavily populated by Norwegians just south of Madison. I'm putting some photos from the big parade up this week - they look a lot like your photos!
Thank you Bleeding Orange! :)
Chris: Thanks so much for visiting and for sharing your link. I really enjoyed seeing your photos from the celebration you took part in! :D
