The Horse Racing Festival in Qingshuihe Town
Chengduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China
Very much away from any tourist trail, a local horse race festival.
Horse racing is an activity beloved by Tibetan people, for it is not only an assemblement for leisure time and exchanging farming experience, but also a show of horse racing spirit of local people.
Before the horse race starts, the horses are blessed. Tibetans circumambulate there horses arround a heap of stones where they are burning incense of himalayan juniper. Walking trough the incense smoke and throwing paper prayerflags called lungta ( "wind horse", colorful papers, which represent good luck and life force) to the air.
Recent Ukrainian Festival in Ottawa, Ontario celebrated Ukrainian culture in Canada. When Laryssa Caris--Monczak wasn't dancing, she was co-hosting the festival's show with her husband Lukash Monczak.
Towering mohicans are the height of fashion in Blackpool this weekend as Rebellion punk festival hit the town.
Thousands of punks sporting studded denim, Dr Martens and eye-watering facial piercings have descended on the resort to see some of punks greatest offerings.
More than 200 bands are on the line-up, including Sham 69, Misfits Cock Sparrer and King Prawn playing across six stages in the Winter Gardens.
Blackpool band The Karma Party opened the festival yesterday, playing as the first revellers entered The Arena at midday.
Lead singer Marc Walker said: “It was great, a real experience. We literally opened the festival for people.
“We told the crowd we’re from Blackpool and they really jumped on board.”
After playing for the first time in 16 years at the festival last year, The Buzzcocks returned again.
Marc added: “It’s a bit mental to be playing the festival after watching it for years. Some of the bands here are our idols and inspiration, it’s mental to be bumping into them.”
Organiser Dods Morrison said: “It’s always a good festival, it's going to be a really busy weekend.
“It’s one big happy family, it’s a once a year meeting for people from all over the world. The music’s great and the atmosphere’s great. I love it in Blackpool.”

Before my bed
There is bright-lit moonlight
So that it seems
Like frost on the ground:
Lifting my head
I watch the bright moon
Lowering my head
I dream that I'm home.

The Pitlochry Festival Theatre is large performing arts theatre located in the town and burgh of Pitlochry in Perthshire, Scotland. The idea of a performance space in the area was conceived in the late 1940s by John Stewart, a leading promoter of amateur dramatics in Glasgow. The theatre officially opened on 19 May 1951.
History
After the decline and subsequent closure of his Park Theatre Club in the West End of Glasgow, John Stewart decided to plan a theatre site in the Knockendarroch area of Pitlochry. However Stewart's plans were met with little success as building licences were refused by the Ministry of Works.
Following this setback, Stewart had the idea of founding a tent-style theatre. This would involve him viewing the wet weather tent of London's Regent's Park and the Birmingham Arena Theatre. Stewart searched for the construction company of these tents in Walsall, eventually investing in one for a theatre space for Pitlochry.
After construction work and promotion by the Scottish Tourist Board, the theatre officially opened on May 19th, 1951. In his opening address, chairman of the board and later Secretary of State for Scotland Tom Johnston said, "This theatre is a monument to one man’s courage, one man’s persistence, and one man’s great faith."
After years 30 years of use and regular cases of damage to the tents by weather, it was decided in the late 1970s that the tent structure would be renovated and stabilised. Construction work began on a new theatre building at the current site, and eventually on May 19th, 1981, the new theatre building was opened on the 30th anniversary of John Stewart's first tent.
The theatre is now of great cultural importance to the Perthshire area. Annually every summer, the theatre and its surrounding area attract thousands of tourists with the theatre's famous summer season, which showcases a large amount of the country's talent in dramatic arts, comedy and writing.
Expansion
In 2014, it was announced that the Pitlochry Festival Theatre would undergo a £25 million expansion of the current building. Plans have been made to have the expansion completed and opened for the theatre's 70th anniversary in 2021. [Wikipedia]

Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
Meeting a group of friendly police officers on horseback was a highlight for me, as was getting to exchange a few photography tips with David the professional photographer, who I think is just too good and genuinely friendly to be called a paparazzi. It was sure a nice change to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't harass me, and only wanted the best, rather than the jealous and nasty ones, but enough about that for now. Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...
The Chemical Brothers - 7
James Holdroyd - 9
Dizzy Rascal - 8
Stafford - 6
The Presets - 9
Art VS Science - 7
Kesha - 5
Pendulum - 9
Zane Lowe - 8
MGMT - 8
Mark Ronson & The Business International - 8
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely. It was the day Randwick rocked for real, and I can't wait to do it all over again.
