Due to a moment of brilliance during our Bekelah hiking trip the week before coming back here in which I dropped my camera and all but destroyed it, I was left with a faulty machine and had to borrow my sister's for this day's purpose. All went well, that is, until the memory card pleaded full and the battery ran out at about the same time. I could have wailed out loud then and there, for the best part of the show had just started. Nevertheless... I display some of the captured moments here for dear viewers.
Some of us girls before the parade
People laying flowers at the monument in front of the academy
Litte Ms. Kitty poses with Sin Ye, Sany, and Farah
Look at the tail!
Cinderella's late for the ball...!
Lovely kids and balloons
Girls in traditional costumes
Medieval princes and princess
Posing with the circus acts
A pak cik, mak cik, and an elf
Farah with a bunch of girls dressed up as, erm, fairies?
Again, people from the dark ages
The Malaysian crowd (the Indians behind us)
Robocop guy with his clan
An Indian guy with the acrobats
The parade begins!
Shu An and Li Fen enjoying the show
Anything to stand out!
Viewers by the roadside
Performing dance for the crowd (couldn't get the partner- they were too fast!)
An enthusiastic kid hoisted above the crowd
nearing Volga
Farah with two, err, belly dancers?
Little Dima brandishing our flag
by the embankment
dancers on a parade car
the crowd at the banks of Volga
I'm turning this into a photo album already! There are more interesting pics of the costumes, but a bit too saucy for public viewing. Hehe. Still, a splendid celebration with great show of patriotism.
To my camera, please get better.

this is my comment on the picture with the tail: the tail "ditenggelami" by... (haha, pun intended)
They are great pictures, ifos. You have always been one who knows how to take great pictures and how to capture great moments :-)
Everybody seems to be having a great time. Especially the photographer (though she wasn't pictured)
Nice pictures, as always *wink*
I'm getting fun vibes just by looking at these pictures :) Anyway does the birthday means Volgograd's independence or something else? I mean each part/state of Russian got its own independence day is it?
Was wondering about that too, Skye.
Guess that must be the date when Volgograd was declared 'Bandaraya', perhaps? No?
Great pics. You've successfully captured the whole mood of celebration.
ada talent jadi journalist. boleh tulis dan gambar macam kat times/newsweek. ;)
Crimsonskye- The birthday marks the date Volgograd was established as a city.
Thanks for the compliments. I'm still missing my camera =(
