Backstage at the French-German funfair, Berlin

(ISO 400, f5.0 @ 29mm, 20sec., 00:47)

This is the largest folk festival and one of the biggest funfairs in Berlin, featuring 150 plus performers, racing roller coasters and a number of rides including the Euro Coaster and the Poseidon water ride.
In the centre of this funfair visitors experience a typical French village with a 14 metre high windmill called the Moulin Rouge.
My interest here was looking behind these facades and trying to find out what the performers do to make themselves feel a bit more at home in their breaks.
