The whole city has transformed for the May 9th parade, the biggest event in the year. Billboards and giant pictures are on display in all the streets and on the buildings.
The excitement has built up for days now, and I could hardly sleep the night before. We woke up early to try to beat the crowd and get good spots. Obviously, we failed, and when we arrived, all good spots were already taken.
So here is what we can bring back from our celebration day:
A few pictures from the back stage, taken minutes before the parade:
Girls adjusting their combat outfit,
-The regiment of orange berets,
-Some other regiment, more friendly,
-And the typical police car with the front hood open (nothing really different from an everyday picture).
And here some pictures we managed to take by stretching our arms really high:
Conclusion: In spite of my really cool new camera, I was not able to get a decent picture from this memorable day. Plus the new camera is a bit too heavy for the 'stretched-arm-picture mode'. Next year I will go with a periscope instead of a camera. Still, it was a nice day to be outside and we had good shashliks by the river.

Does your cool new camera have a zoom lens?
The store has a zoom lens for it, and it's pricey. I'll practice taking picture first before spending more money on it.
