Marketgallery: Here are some pictures from the vikingfestival of Saltvik on Aland July 23-25 2009. Really nice festival and excellent arrangement! Thursday the weather was just perfect! But on Friday morning the whole srea were transformed to a dissaster!!! It rained 60 mm on a couple of hours, and the watersystem collapsed. Totally the ground was filled with about 45 cm! Fibula, firedepartment and a lot oc good helpers did a huge work with in 24 hours. Amazing! The festivalarea and the parkinglots were fixed until opening on saturday morning! On saturday both us on Stevik and the the festival was invaded by vistitors, so we didn´t have a chance to photograph anything from that day. We would like to thank till Fornforeningen Fibula and everyone else who helped out to save the festival! Great work! Hold the pointer over the pictures to see the belonging text or click on them to enlarge!
