Floating Gounds Mini-Festival Preview

These photographs, taken by our good friend and amazing photographer Tatjana Todorovik, capture some of the magic that was in the air at Floating Grounds Mini Festival on Midsummer's Night. 
Many thanks to the artists who previewed their work and to all who came along to see the show and enjoy the beautiful open air location under the stars.
