  • A photograph taken during the day at Glastonbury Festival showing a performance by Kylie Minogue. The camera is situated high up on a viewing platform and looks down over a huge crowd of people standing in front of a large pyramid shaped stage. The crowd hold colourful flags and banners aloft. The camera catches the moment a glitter gun goes off, spraying glitter into the air and above the crowd.
