A photograph taken at Glastonbury during the daytime. The image depicts a man with no shirt and blue shorts bending down over a firepit within a campsite in the middle of a grassy field. Three small tents are erected around him, and a red trailer vehicle is parked to the right of the tents. Beyond the small campsite a blue campervan is parked in the field, and beyond the campervan a temporary stage is erected.
