Photos From Gastonbury 2017

[JAS_Photo]

I have recently returned from the Glastonbury 2017 Festival. It is the largest Green field festival in the world. I took quite a number of photos just using my little Sony point and shoot. I had to carry in everything I needed for the 5 days I was there so needless to say weight is a big consideration. I will post a bunch of photos slowly but will start with this highly edited photo from the Circus Field:

Colourful Flags of which I took many, many pics:

A very nice set of images... I really like the checkerboard flags.

If you can not handle crowds, this is probably not the festival for you. I did not mind it for the most part although I did get caught in a crowd crush twice. Once right after Jeremy Corbin spoke at the pyramid stage.

Love them or hate them crowd flags are a big part of Glastonbury.

The pyramid stage is huge and the pyramid arena has 9 huge speaker towers throughout the area.

Here is Matt of the National on screen.

All of the flags give a great carnival atmosphere. If you are reminded of middle ages jousting tournaments, it is no coincidence as this is home of the Arthurian Legends.

Yes, there were dragons.

Volunteers paint these colourful trash bins that are scattered throughout the site:
