Garbo honoured in giant sand portrait - Sweden 2002
A portrait of Garbo is staring up at air travellers passing over northern Sweden.
Artists in Umeaa have created a giant portrait of her using different shades of sand and dirt.They worked from an original picture and enlarged each of the 3,300 pixels in the digital image to an area of dirt 55 feet by 68 feet.
Fredrik Jonsson, 33, one of the artists, said: "It was great when we were finished. It's a bit annoying that it's so hard for us to see. One would like to see it from above."
It took a whole week to complete the portrait, and Jonsson says the weather will determine how long it lasts. "It has already rained on it," he said. "But she still looks to be in good spirits."
