Here's a few from Womadelaide...
What better way to cool down in 40 degree heat than by wallowing in mud..

There's some more in my Womad Gallery
Should have really taken more shots, although I was having more fun just getting amongst it all without gear hanging off me in the heat

Thanks guys,

The kid in photo 2 had more energy than most people that I saw, he kept diving into that mud over and over and over which was great as it gave me heaps of time to go back and get my flash!
Rookie: They had mist tents set up that would get moved around once the ground got a good soaking, they must have left it in this spot for too long, all it took is for two kids to discover it, all of a sudden there was 20 of them... oh and yeah the feet shot is my favourite, wish there was more of them and I didn't have to crop so tight but I was a bit worried about getting a dollop of mud on the lens.

I keep getting a 404 error (page not found) on your gallery link.

Came out of there with a nice combination of grotty-feet, sunburn, and dehydration - beer doesn't really keep you that well hydrated. :cheers: :mrgreen:

How'd you like it anyway?

Awesome shots, each captures a different aspect of the muddy action!

Thanks for all the comments guys, really makes me wonder why I was so hesitant to post photos in the first place :cheers:

Had a ball as always, heat was a bit much on saturday, but easier to deal with on sunday... managed not to get sunburnt too.
Really dug Tecoma on Sat afternoon not to mention the bigger acts... man Sharon Jones can move.

And I actually thought the first one looks like a shot from the PoW camp.

Nice
