Dancing jetfighters, night city from the high and changing sky

Sep 05, 2010 00:18


This weekend we have quite a great celebrations - it's our city's birthday. So If you wanna congatulate us - you're welcome.;)))) Thought usually I don't like that holiday like other public celebrations becouse there is always too crowded for me - I have something like a sudden panic attack sometimes. So it is not the best decision for me to go out and walk in the city (especially it's centre) in that days. But this day was different. It was filled with my precious friends and people whom I feel very comfortable with. And also this year we have something much more interesting than usual celebrations, fireworks and gala concert. We welcomed The Russian Knights  and Strizhi aerobatic teams.

I was never mush interested in planes, fighters and so (except probably pilots they are so handsome and courageous). But what these guys do in the sky it just made me numb! I 've never seen something like that, it was astonishing, blow-minding and absolutely crazy. They were really dancing in the sky thought they dazzled with such serious figures and the way they flew and also there was a thundering noise that resounded all over the sky. We were close to have wrenched our necks - we could hardly be in time to turn and stare on that flying iron monsters. I was thinking most of all about those people who were in the pulpits of these jets. I wonder how are they feeling when they are rocking the skies? Do they feel themselves like gods? Like gods of pilotage, certainly.  I have no idea what they are thinking about and what they feel. And that's mysterious.

When it was over we stayed numb for a while glancing at the other bank of Volga river where we can see an enormous crowd of people. I swear I couldn't see an enbankment - it was a human flood. I was thanking God that we aren't on that side. Also the weather was very changing. When we rode to the enbankment to see the flights there was quite gloomy and much cloudy. When the jets was performing the sky became so clear and sunny! Sometimes it was hard to see what they are doing there over us becouse the sun was shining and dazzling. When it was over, it became very gloomy and dark, and cold wind started blowing and it poored.

We ended up our day on the top of the city - thought the building might seem not very hight it has 16 floors but the view is amasing! Especcially when it became dark and the city was lightening and shining. L
