I was lucky
today as I found some really some nice sights in the city and exciting events
going on. As it was Saturday a lot of wedding ceremonies were taking place at
the Mosque and the brides were proudly wandering around in their white wedding
dresses, posing for the photos to be taken.
Straight after the wedding ceremony
they all went to the park to take pictures in the most picturesque sights. The
place is in fact a local ethnic park with some examples of settlements
dating XVIII
century and even earlier, all nicely arranged in the area, it is specially arranged for the visitors - a perfect place for the locals to stroll on
lazy summer Saturday. I could easily feel the atmosphere.
Some local folk
festival was going on – everybody seemed to have a lot of fun being part of it,
the performers and spectators alike. The glittering outfits of performers
almost blinded me with the sparking embroidery. I am definitely not used to such combination of folk costumes colours with
plastic fabrics and jewelry.
Locals like glitter and bright colours – they wear their
outfits with pride, for sure like being admired, no matter what age and size.
The youngest performer must have been around 6 and the oldest – hard to say,
really. Some of the singing babushkas had problems getting onto the stage but
when they got there they seemed to have more energy than my teenage students
during their class projects.
I took my
pictures with my Samsung Galaxy which was rather a challenging task as the sun
blinded the screen and I could hardly see anything. It was really hot today –
must have been about 28 ˚C. Forgive me the quality of the pictures – the message
is far more important here. I see the advantage of cameras over mobile phones
now.
And a few shots from the city
