Summer festivals are just enough for me, I don’t need to go any of these spring festivals. Still, I didn’t know that there are so many different kinds of festivals in springtime…

I believe that people have forgotten the meaning of spring as an absolute value in itself. The changing of the seasons is quite rare in some countries that you can’t always see them change. This is why I try to see the beauty in every season and treasure its’ aspects!

It is great that the ecological aspect has been also taken into account! Festivals are huge events, so that environmental consciousness has an enormous influence on nature!
