2007 Russian Festival - Friday

As usually, our Festival officially opened with a procession on Friday 19 October 2007. Natalie took the photographs and this is the best set of photographs of our opening and closing ceremonies ever. Thank you for a good job, Natalie.

On Friday we had heavy rain during the day and I was in the temple and heard some noise outside and I saw John on top of one of the booths and he was placing the plastic there to keep out the water. Of course I could not resist photographing it. Later both Natalie and I will capture pictures of his wonderful dancing.Thank you, John.

Most of the photographs of me will either be candids by Natalie or requests by the other person in the photograph. I also did request some photographs of me with some of the wonderful young peole in the parish.
