A Montage of Winter Olympic Posters...

We love the Olympics in our house! TV watching as we know it is temporarily suspended as we celebrate the triumphs, and weep over the tragic losses, with athletes around the world.

Seeing this succession of posters brings back memories of the first winter games that I can recall—Innsbruck. Some are extremely memorable and others completely forgettable. I suppose the hosting city/country may have something to do with it. The romance of Innsbruck. The exotic surprise of Nagano. Places that sound fabulous like St. Moritz…

Thanks to the folks at NBC for inspiring us with this.

If you could select a future site for the Winter Olympics, where would it be? Post a comment with any suggestions…
