The year in photos: August festival

Will I manage to have finished this review of 2009 before the end of January? We'll see. Here's August's acrostic. (idea courtesy of NB Epiphany)


Actors from the Mikron Theatre Company at the IWA National Festival at Ratcliffe-on-Soar, performing "Fair Trade"


Using my car in the display of classic cars at the festival. That front bumper doesn't get any better.

Gathering of people for the 0800 communion service organised by the Boaters' Christian Fellowship (and that's a time, not a dialling code)

Uniform: the red t-shirts worn by the wrgies ferrying people across the lock cut

Skydiving members of the Tigers, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment's Parachute Display Team dropping in to the festival

Towering over the whole festival site were the six giant cooling towers of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station


Of course, there were boats too.
