For those of us on the ComRadWomad Team, Sunday was our chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of WOMADelaide for ourselves. It was also a chance for me to take some snaps around Botanic Park to capture some of the WOMAD vibe.
Master Kong Nay performs on the Zoo stage in sweltering heat.
Part of the strong Australian contingent at Womad 08 - Sarah Blasko performs on Stage 3 with her chamber ensemble.

The beautiful fire installations that lit up Botanic Park once the sun set.
Sharon Jones and the DAP Kings were a stellar act to finish the main stage, and as shown here Sharon really knew how to get the audience involved, pulling one lucky audience member up on stage!
