I haven't been able to go through the shots I took with my new Nikon just yet, but there were actually quite a few shots taken with my iPhone that turned out pretty OK that I'll share for now.
:)
The festival was really well put together, and apparently smaller then previous years - good thing for me that this was my first time going, so I was more then happy with the size and result this year.
A huge bonus this year on the other hand was their newly opened
Viking Hall - it looked absolutely amazing. Really well done, and thankfully fairly historically accurate.

Later, I'll show you my loot!
;) Alright, so enjoy the shots peeps!

Here is one of the Instagram videos I made while I was there. Not very good quality I'm afraid, but you get the idea. Kinda fun. :)

When the epic battle was over, we decided to head homewards, but before we reached our car, we stumbled across the National Park in Borre.
Such a beautiful park, filled with large oak trees - one of the most beautiful things I know - old, large trees.

| The largest oak was far away on a field outside the park - so beautiful ♥ |
When we came home I was basically jumped by a slightly offended Tifa, that decided that from there on out, I had no business going anywhere, thank you very much! She basically sat on me for the rest of the day
