Meeting point (for people
like myself who get lost a little too easily than
can be healthy at times!) upon a hill somewhere near the information tent.
Having missed Tantara's set (I got there just as they were finishing), I did get to see a band called The Dreambeat do their thing, and here they are mid-way through one of the songs that they performed.
A
sign outside the ‘Small World’ stage.
Quaint, innit?
Here’s a vehicle that somehow, you’re unlikely to have seen George W. Bush turning up in at that trade & environmental conference in Johannesburg that took place (not that he even bothered to reach there anyway, to start off with), as it had solar panels and just out of shot, a wind-powered generator on the roof. It was parked in the campaigning field were Dawn, Jasper, Erica and Diesse had moved to (Dawn found it difficult finding where her tent had originally been).
Having set up their tents in a new location
(I
spotted the schNEWS tent nearby,
thanks for including a pic of mine on p.143 of the 2002 yearbook, John!)
it was time
for the four
of them
and me
go off and to do a spot of exploring
around the area. Here’s Dawn and Jasper having a dance
in
an afternoon tent disco….
….and just a little later on, sitting near where the Hare Krishna tent was located (Erica & Diesse out of shot).
Dawn, Diesse the dog (taking a rest from
being
Dawn’s “guide” around the campsite), Erica and Jasper
all
enjoying some food served up at the Hare Krishna tent nearby. As well as
bumping into Luke B.. esq. (the bloke responsible for me getting the old
Zenit-'E' camera I use) and buying a copy of 'Festival
Eye' from the pile that he had in his hand, I also met Brian (a.k.a. 'Viziondanz'
- thanks again for the link to my site and the ad featuring my site’s
url in ‘Festival Eye’) along with his daughter,
carrying a few squeezy bottles of henna with
which he
drew some dancing figures on my left hand (they came out quite nicely,
I noticed the
next morning).
The early evening scene I snapped in a spot I christened 'Tipi Alley'.
It got pretty crowded
around this way
with loads of campers walking about, taking in all of the things on view that were to
be seen below.
A few folks having an early evening jam in a part of the field
that had a large proportion of campers from Spain, Cuba and Eastern
Europe.
I came across some colleagues of Dawn's lodger (her name's Julie) that I snapped earlier in the month while down in Brighton visiting, doing an early-evening performance v.much on that music hall/vaudevillian tip.
