It was summer once

My friend A. found and sent me some pictures we took last summer.  Ah, it was green then, and we walked around with bare legs, and it was festival season.

This was a New Age festival being set up as we were leaving a Pagan or music (or Pagan music) festival ... which had no interesting things (except Pagans) (or music), while this New Age fest was going in for wonderful visuals.

 And another one...

Not pictured is the stage, where there was going to be Goa trance-dance music for hours and hours.  This is a straw-bale wall opposite the stage to trap the sound.

New Agers are really into their chakras... 

Also not pictured, because not set up yet, was a colorful labyrinth they were putting together.  (I WANT ONE!) 

But they did have up a puffer-dome -

And a geodesic dome -

We would like to have come back for the Saturday, view all the goings-on, look over the merch, do a little trance-dancing...but alas, you're either there for the whole week or not at all.  So we just looked around as they set up...

And got a few ideas for our festival...

This post and your pictures made me want to do a little trance-dancing and I don't even know what that is! The pictures are entrancing, Myriad. What a colorful world you live in. I like the top pic of you and the flowers, the best. I'd love to come to your festival.

Good title for a poem, and metaphor for life. Once yes, it was once summer. Great photos.
I don't know much about chakras but more power to them...
So very many colours of all sorts. Lovely.
Oh Id like to be at a summer festival right now. January and February suck.
Can I just say again what a beautiful woman you are?! And I want to have your hair! In spite of what that OS blogger guy whose name we can't remember said! Too too faboo.
Seeing this post was the next best thing to being there.
Very cool pictures
I love the Alice style garden
rated with love
Lovely pictures and this week nothing but freezing rain and snow.
Illusions of summer..
HUGGGGGGGGGG
Oh did this make me smile!

thanks. this moment with the temp at 20 degrees...I NEEDED THIS.
Loved the pictures as well as the sentiment they evoke.
Is the gold dude real.. like painted?

I'll echo some of the other comments.. beautiful GREEN
pictures. Magical place and friends. Oh dreams of summer!

You too. YOU, a spectacular person. Always thought so.
I remember summer! Which of those cool New Age features are you going to incorporate into your next Paganfest? Goa trance music is always good, and the giant flowers would go well with an earth mother theme, though I don't know about the chakras. If you added some antlers to that golden dude he might make a credible Cernunnos and then you could burn the hearts ripped from your sacrificial victims in a little fire on his lap.
I love these pictures, especially the first one! They definitely put a little summer into my gray winter day! Thanks!
I love those giant flowers! I didn't know totems took so many different forms.

Huge flowers! Colour! In the open! Love it!

Lovely photos, Myriad. What an interesting life you must lead.
Summer! Yeah, baby! Beautiful pics!
