Donation towards the making of Streetscape Pictures
The Arkona Lions gave a donation to help out with the making of streetscape pictures. The 3 pictured below are ones that are hanging on the side wall on the Arkona Lions Museum And Information Centre , they have been taken down until the Museum opens up again next year . But if you are out driving around come out to Arkona there are several streetscape pictures hanging all around Arkona , they are all pictures of Arkona's past
