Event - Elfia Haarzuilens 2022

Returning to Elfia Haarzuilens after more than a decade of absence was literally a last minute decision based on the weather forecast (like: deciding on Friday afternoon to go on Saturday), but thanks to a very dear friend it was possible & we had a blast.
And yes, when I last visited it was still called Elf Fantasy Fair.

We'll tear your soul apart

Eventhough new thematic areas have been added, it wasn't as gigantic & shopping-spree-inducing as during it's biggest years, but hey: at least it's back after a long pandemic and now it has the potential to grow back to it's former collossal glory. Glad to have been there when events rise back up from uncertainty (I almost said: from the ashes) like a legendary phoenix.

Beauty and the beast

Just like during Trolls et Légendes we had a wheelchair to navigate through the event. Luckily the entire parking, entry, check-in, toilet,.. parts have been optimised for people with disabilities. And there were many wheelchairbound visitors. So a big thumbs up for the volunteers during these both events for all their goodwill. Just too bad that not all meandering parkroads & Elfia areas where accessible by wheelchair, yet most was doable so all could enjoy the festival.

And the Elfians? They were friendly & they looked great as always.. so there is some footage! Sadly we would have loved to spend much more time in several areas.. but the waiting lines for food, toilets & cash were time-consuming.

More samples below.
But right now I have loads of images to process in between a véry busy work schedule filled with photofairs thoughout the Benelux, several photowalks in Pairi Daiza, a videoclip for Sony Music, wellness days and plenty of webinars & masterclasses. So please be patient (and if you want your picture processed faster: feel free offer a lookbroodje or a cup of mead on Castlefest - El Mundo Fantasia - Elftopia - Elfia Arcen).

Just so you know: downloads on Flickr are free for friends & followers.
