What an incredible experience captured with some equality incredible (mesmerising) images. As the wee 2nd Torchie to the left on the Acropolis, this is the first image I've seen from the audience perspective and wow! Thank you Tom for capturing the vibes and sharing them.

Looks amazing. Love the costumes ( or lack thereof) but I do find it comical that you can be attired as Queen of this or that or body painted as some sort of devil , but still have your feet encased in comfy trainers or socks and lace-ups and have your specs on.

Love the last pic.

This is an incredible set of images Tom - you've done quite well with this. Reminds me of a time when I photographed a Hannukah celebration in the grounds of our "castle" in Nottingham , so many people holding candlelight in darkness made for mesmeric images.
