In the bulgarian Rodope Mountains there´s a festival so dreamy, you feel beamed back to 1969. Women with flowers in their hair and men with round sunglasses, not more than about 800 people, dance on meadows, in the woods and around bonfires.

Clearly, the highlight was the morning hours. Over the misty valleys, the majestic Sunlight caressed the dancing crowd. People hugging, dancing and enjoying the moment, thats what celebrating a good festival is all about for me.
