Imagine Peace
Reykjavik is home to an annual celebration of peace that was initiated by Yoko Ono. Coinciding with two major milestones in John Lennon's life -- the dates of his birth (Oct 9) and his death (Dec 8), the celebration is principally a focused set of spotlights on the nearby island of Viðey, which creates a tower of light visible for miles around.
There are other smaller scale recognitions of the project, mostly taking the form of paper wishing trees in galleries and shops (a wish tree is a metal skeleton festooned with small White squares of paper, upon which people write a wish for the future). You can see a photo stream of the wish trees associated with Imagine Peace here.
