A photograph taken during the daytime at Glastonbury festival. The image is taken from a high vantage point looking out over the festival site. In the foreground are a series of colourful flags on tall flag poles. Beyond them is a cluster of white teepee tents. At the bottom of the hill in the distance tents and structures are visible with a large pyramid shaped structure in the middle. In the background is a large campsite with hundreds of tightly packed together tents.
