Wine Garden : The Wine Graden is new in 2009. Hungary being a wine drinking nation it's only befitting and one wonders how the festival got away with not having a Wine Garden for 15 years ;^).

Joga : Massage, Thai Chi and Joga are widely practiced throughout the island. While I refer my body solely to sleep and coffee to alter its degrees of rest and calm instead, I doubt not that it can work for you and certainly enjoy watching the process.

Sleeping : Considering that live act start as late as 2am and other programs do not stop until the wee hours, night time is not always the best time to rest if you live on the island for the duration of the festival.

Belly Dancer : This guy is dressed like he's a professional and there's nothing wrong with a male belly dancer. Yet, there is something whacky about this stage which looks somewhat forgotten and also about the crowd which, while looks upon him with interest, seems not to dare to get closer.

Seesaw Ship : I don't know if you can make out what's going on here. I do know however, that even if you figured out that the wooden arc full of people rocks back and forth, you are likely not able to imagine what a rush you get when ending up on the tall end of the arc whille it is in swing.

Hanging on by a thread : a Stunt Panorama : Sanyi, one of our photographers is also a stuntman. We have been shooting aerial panoramas of Sziget Festival for some years using kites and poles, but this is the first time one of us actually hung themselves upside down at twenty meters, in order to take a series of aerial phoographs with the precision required to assemble thos into a seemless panoramic image. Behold the result - a stunning overview of what constitutes pretty much the geographic center of Sziget Festival 2009.

Waterpipes : I think waterpipe themed panoramas will have to have their dedicated category soon, we have shot so many of these over the years. Then again, they are seemingly becoming as much of a staple for visitors as palinka. On the upside, after the pipe, you can still drive home.

Souvenir Shop : What's a festival without nick-nacks?

Indonesian Tea House : From the looks of it, the water pipes were more popular than the tea, but hey, as long as there are belly dancers . . .

Metal Drums : In a somewhat hidden pocket between the Amphitheater and Octopus was this hands-on perucssion workshop inviting all to bang out their hearts for others to enjoy, but at least tolerate.
