OverJam Diary day 4 - Throwback to festival days

-

 Day 4 and 5 have been quite challenging I have to admit. 

Weather had a sudden turn to the worst, with a thunderstorm hitting the area right in the middle of day 4, during an interview. Our wonderful crew and the ever thoughtful festival organization took action immediately to secure all the gear and give shelter to the many people untile the heavy rain and strong wind calmed down. But we had to call it a short day and stop the live broadcasting as all the activity on our stage had to be cancelled. But here a few pictures from the day 4 ...
