Heart of Diamond: Creatures of Nature : The stilt-walking Heart of Diamond crew shows off their Creatures of Nature outfit. Every day they roam the island grounds, startling and mesmerising onlookers alike.

Duna Party [1] : Even though the quality of the Danube water is questionable, it's no cause for hesitation for the true beach bums to take a dip.

Brazilian Samba : It's hard to keep up with these high-energy brazillian Samba dancers. No wonder "Zumba" has become such a popular workout.

Above the crowd for Pendulum : Pendulum was supposed to play at last year's festival, but they had to cancel last-minute because of a fatal accident while transporting their gear. This year they made up for it, opening for The Prodigy. They dedicated their performance to the person who did not make it out of that accident.

I thoroughly enjoyed being in the back of the crowd, and I was clearly not the only one; it felt as if the whole island was drawn to the main stage area, leaving bars and other stages all but empty. They sure set the bar high for Prodigy to follow them up.

Waking up along the Danube : I wandered around an earily quiet island on the early morning of day 4. Early islanders were getting up, while late islanders were getting their last beer at 8:00 in the morning. This spot on the northern end of the island must be the most idyllic place to pitch your tent; waking up to the returning of chirping birds and the serene sounds of the Danube flowing. You just have to hope there are no flash floods.

The African Village from Above : For the past couple of years I brought a kite and gear to get a camera up to great heights. I still have the kite with me, but its use is very wind-related. This year I also brought a giant monopod, so I can get a camera up to 6 meters above the ground without launching a kite...

Rope-skipping at the Hungaricum Village : After their last show at the Traveling Funfair circus tent, the Japanese Performers traveled across the island to join the Hungarians in their games. Though born in Japan, the performers are Hungarian citizens too, you know!

Magyar TV crew : A crew of Magyar TV presenters ("the other MTV") enjoy a calm moment before their daily live show with interviews and updates on what's hot at Sziget.

Fire juggling in the Cökxpón garden : As if the temperatures weren't high enough, there is a daily fire juggling show at the Cökxpón Ambient Garden, starting around 1 at night. Being a fan of the "Last Airbender" world, I wouldn't normally side with firebenders, but these were friendly enough. And in contrast to the recent movie adaptation, this show does not suck one bit. If you're still on the island when they start, be sure to go see them.

Robert Choinka at the Magic Mirror : Much to the amusement of many a lady present (male or female), Robert Choinka performed a sweaty, oily acrobatics routine. Fortunately for my wife, he turns out to be straight...
