Hi Shamil, That's a beautiful look into the birthday celebration of historical St. Petersburg and into the lovely surrounding countryside. Your young Damir did a wonderful job. (Did I get the name right?) What struck me profoundly, once again, is how familiar everything really is - we are half a world apart, we speak a different language, we have different forms of government, etc., but the beauty of the earth looks the same, the face of the mime entertaining people looks the same, and the enjoyment of the young boy and his parents looks the same in St. Petersburg, Russia as it does here in Rapid City, Michigan, in the USA. Furthermore, the emotional settings evoked by the musical selections for the several segments of the video, are familiar and easily understood across these many miles. For all the differences we can find among peoples, I find myself awestruck again and again by our much greater similarities. Please forgive me for waxing too philosophical here. I enjoyed Damir's video, I hope he will do many more to share with all of us.
