Faked (just the one train in 4 shots) pic of the splendid big B&M coaster at PortAventura.
Could have done with getting the other coaster's train into the same shot but was not really trying very hard in the cold last weekend.
More of the same sort of fakery here Block Violations (flickr set)

Shambhala is important to the region because it brings lots of tourists to the area every summer. The festival also funds local arts and culture institutions such as the Selkirk College School of Music and Technology.
