Winter magic festival is an annual event held at Katoomba to celebrate winter solstice. It is one big cultural event attracting people of all sorts. Dressing up is big on the agenda and thus it is a photographer’s paradise. There are bands, dancers, drummers, lots of firemen and representatives of almost all alternative lifestyles you can think of.
This photograph of an Indian girl adorned by traditional jewelery was taken during a tourist promotion, which took place at Sydney’s Martin Place. A variety of very colourful, male and female performances, which you can see in my new Indian gallery, kept the spectators entertained during lunch. The whole show was done in a lighthearted way, thus showing even more of the nature of the Indian culture and people.
