i made a selection of my pictures of the festival, did some manglings where the picture needed it, or when the quality was too low, and put them on the internet, this is the link:

The location, an abandonned 'communistic' military basis in North formerly East Germany, was superb, with those mega bunkers to climb on.
But it was more difficult to make pictures without drawing attention.
At the sunclipse festival in Turkey I could almost just do, everybody was making pictures, and if one looks into the sun he won't see anything of course
Doesn't matter of course, there's just a small different accent through out the pictures, tho I'm not sure really.
I organised the 'normal' and the edited pictures more or less randomly this time, as there isn't really much difference to my own feeling
When special Photoshop tricks are applied. I tried to serve the picture, not to change it wildly and without any reason.
Jst for those who like pictures, nothing serious
edit:
maybe a few words about the festival:
they present themselves as what they call 'communistic'.
Must be gabber language (translation not sure
), at least it's meant as antikapitalistic or anti globalistic.So entrance is presale € 30,-, camp included, eats and drinks are pleasantly priced, no security boys at the entrance, etc.
Most important thing to me was the fact that you hardly saw people making mobile phone calls
you know, those types in the middle of the dance floor? WHAT?
Also,on the campsite the atmosphere was extremely friendly for those who want to sleep on different times (like me indeed).
What I heard is, there were about 30.000 visitors, but if you look to the pictures you can see that there is plenty of space all over the place..
The festival area is maybe 2 kilometers square, not sure.
There's a real runway, marking the entrance, the bunkers are spread over the festival area.
In between are some mainstages, with different styles of dance.
Inside the bunkers often played hardcore bands, the name is Fusion, remember?
Must admit that I didn't check any of them
{Except then the woman who provided her own tracks from her labtop with fenomenal Hendrix-like guitar 'solo's, check the added picture
}.You don't have that in overorganized Holland, that's why I feel the need to tell about it, I guess.
Press is friendly said not to be welcome, followed by an invention to come as a visitor, on them site it is.
That in a world where almost every festival organisation tries to rope the medea to a job, hehe
