Wackelsteinfestival 2009 - a world in pictures       
If your want to leaf through the photos just according to the time of their creation and apart from the categories I sorted them into, this is the place to go to. The time of creation in this case is any of the days of the festival, the time while setting evertything up and, of course, the Thursday before the festival, when we had our usual warming-up session at the Schmankerlwirt's inn.
Here you find photos of all the bands that performed at the fourth Wackelsteinfesetival. From some we were lucky to get many photos, the photos of other bands are still a bit sparse. If you have more photos, please let us know.
Photos of one of the most endearing activities at the festival: dancing. Dancing in pairs, dancing alone, spinning dances, whirling dances, dancing in joy, ...
Photos of you or at least of some of you - photos of people laughing, dancing, jumping, frolicing, yawping - wherever you wandered on the tide of the moment when one of our photographers was closeby and ready to shoot: you will wind the result here.
here you'll find several panorama shots of the festival grounds that have
been taken at moments throughout the festival. Pictures transcending the momentary turmoil on the festival grounds, piercing the heart of it to produce shadows of the atmosphere present at the festival.
or: the place where even stones are covered in make-up. Unfortunately, we only have very few photos from the children's island this year. Seemingly our photographers were occupied by other occureencies on the festival.
Bringing many excellent musicians to one place, sooner or later you are bound to be lucky and come to enjoy a session - that this happens is more the rule than the exception at the Wackelsteinfestival. This year maybe it occurred a bit less than usual because the weather on Saturday was not in favour of the survival of musical instruments but still, there were many moments in which music was practiced and enjoyed together.
Here, you will find pictures often beautiful to behold but difficult to categorise. Like every narrow-minded person, trying to sort life into neat little drawers, I have a neat little drawer for all those pictures that don't fit into my other precious drawers.
Like every year many of you will have found their rest on the Festival campground. As a result many of your memories of the festival will circle around the camping meadow - hear you can have a look at it once more.
Every year we, the Wackelsteine, and several bold volunteers come together one or two weeks before the festival to set up the huts and the stage together with the Amaliendorfer firefighters, to cover the Waldviertel with Wackelstein posters, to buy incredible amounts of various things, to prepare a lot and to get into the right mood for the festival. It is a time full of work but also full of joy in what we are doing. Here, you'll find the photots taking during that time.
The Wackelsteinfestival takes place in one of the most pristine landscapes - forests, marshland, rocky witnesses of the geology and history of the Waldviertel. Only in a few spots you feel the magic of the Woodquarter as close as here, around the Wackelstein in Amaliendorf.
From time to time moments occur requiring more than just a simple shot. Maybe it is the overall situation, special lighting, a wonderful moment with friends. Here, you will in part find beautiful, in part interesting, in part funny pictures that might not be interesting to everybody, but which definitely deserve their place in our photo album.
These pictures are sorted only by photographer, indeed. Here, there are no narrow-minded categories, no neat little drawers. Enjoy the photos like you would good scotch - straight, without ice.
