as there is no time to go out shooting, one last from the shenzen festival in nuremberg. The others are here, here and here.
i found their pose really striking in front of the black background.

the mongolian troop formed the first part of the shenshen festival - their performance and especially their music was really amazing. The ended with a song in frankonian tongue - the local dialect of nuremberg - in something like a "zwiefacher" rhythm (two rhythms alternating) whicht showed their extreme musical capabilites.
lightzone again made my day through its versatility and flexible layer techniques.

i have to admit i was ebbing between fascination and a certain kind of distance to these chinese dancers. quite a lot reminded of old american dance films just teleported to chinese costumes and music.
still the images that formed on the stage were sometimes stunning. And if Karl Moik would perform in Shenshen, probably nobody there would now about the artistic level

i get the taste for available light again. fortunately i was seated at a table from which i got support for my elbows. i liked specially her self-forlornness in front of a stage with very active performances.
on a sidenote: supporters for the freedom of tibet were waving banners. the chinese consulate-general wanted to get them removed. but of course this was "Hauptmarkt", not Tiannamen...
