WOMADelaide day #1

Sitting in our beautiful apartment in Adelaide, drinking coffee on a grey morning, after a great first evening at WOMAD. 


It's a world music festival, with a very laid back atmosphere and great music. Last night was a slimmed down version of the Buena Vista Social Club ( the whole Orquestra is on tonight), they were such professional, suave, smooth musicians it was inspiring to watch. Prior to that, was Charlie Musselwhite, a Mississippi blues singer, guitar and harmonica player, who was raw and gusty. Rufus Wainwright, well a bit nasal and depressing for us ( Lisa, Aaron & I). 


The atmosphere was magical, lights in all the trees, kids running around with glowsticks and balloons with lights in them, happy people everywhere. It's not like WA, here you can grab a drink, or bottle of wine, and just walk around everywhere. 


There's an interactive inflatable sculpture ! Today we can go inside this cool looking bouncy castle, hopefully with the sun shining through the panels lighting it up inside.  

All these photographs in Adelaide will be taken on my phone, I'm curious to see how well it will handle my photographic needs. I'm not a keen photographer, so if I can make the iPhone well enough for my requirements it'll save lugging around another cable, charger and piece of fragile stuff.
