Hello guys, long time no see. Well, it’s been a long time, I haven’t written anything for a long time. First I was in the army, then I was on vacation. Many. For a long time. Well, let’s not talk about that.
I had a chance to attend an event today. The event is very interesting, lively, somehow attracting the viewer, and at the same time introducing a little to the knightly era. Actually, this is not the first time I’ve been to an event like this, but only a year ago everything was different, and it wasn’t noble sirs in armor who were in sight, but barbarians and Vikings! But that was then, and this time I saw men’s competitions of the 15th century. Well, I looked around, where would we be without it?. Of course, it was impossible to attend this event without a camera, but here it is as usual: a cheap canon 1100d with an equally cheap one. There’s barely enough money for food, not enough time for magic lenses.
It looks like I’m walking around like this, and everywhere people are dressed up and decorated, walking around, having fun, attracting people. There are tents and benches all around where artisans put up their beauties for sale. And what beauties! The motives are one more beautiful than the other, although sometimes something painfully familiar caught my eye.
There was also a wonderful throne there. Although rather eccentric. And how many people there were, everyone wanted to sit on this throne. I don’t know what they found in it, maybe it was a magic throne.
I was at a festival and there were different animals. I can even feed you, but that’s not the whole truth. I didn’t catch the snake with a photo gun, it was boring, but I couldn’t catch up with the hawk or eagle, its owner was running away very quickly towards the tent.
Meanwhile, the performance began on https://casinosnotongamcare.co.uk/review/winit-casino/ the lists. All the people gathered on the edge, they almost squeezed. And how many frames were spoiled, damned.
Soon knights, noble sirs from different parts of the world appeared in the clearing. All are brave and strong. In a word – knights! Introduce yourself and let’s find out who can ride a horse more dexterously and handle a sword and pike.
And so the brave men left to prepare for battle, and they were replaced by mischievous jesters. Hey, bastards, just to be weird.
And just look who replaced them. Not one, not two soldiers. The army is whole! Scattered to different sides of the list and let’s find out who is stronger than whom. It was a powerful buhurt, I tell you! The fighters were so enthusiastic, more than once a blade flashed just an elbow from my nose. And how beautifully they sometimes flew over the fence!
Deciding to take a break from this spectacle, I went further to the festival to court. And what happens there: they teach people how to make jewelry, they forge knives and horseshoes, they teach them how to fight with swords, they show them how to shoot with a bow. They even took apart some kind of Kalashnikov, but I didn’t go there, the green knights looked too menacing.
Yes, as soon as I returned to the lists, a completely different sight appeared before me. The noble sirs put on armor and began to knock each other out of their saddles with spears. The spectacle is terrible, but this makes it even more exciting. I can’t count how many spears they broke!
In general, it was a good time at the festival, my friends. Funny. Tomorrow they promise everything again, but I’m afraid I won’t be there a second time. But I recommend you go!
And if there is no clownery, on the 18th-19th the “Battle on the Neva” festival is held in St. Petersburg on the territory of the Peter and Paul Fortress. The festival is very cool, the stalls have a lot of different goodies from earrings to homemade shields and swords, and a lot is taken from popular culture including our favorite video games. At the last festival, for example, I took myself a handmade witcher medallion. It may not look like a million dollars, but it is much better and nicer than the one that was in the collection of the second part, and in itself, let’s say, it’s authentic. Sorry, not silver. There you could also compete in assembling and disassembling an AK-74, shoot a bow, throw a spear, practice fighting with swords, axes, axes, admire knightly duels, in short, you probably wouldn’t have time in just one day. I highly recommend going and seeing them, they hang out there from a cannon shot (Petersburgers will understand) until the evening. Personally, my friend and I had a very interesting and fun time.
As always, thank you all for watching. The photos, I know, didn’t come out very well, because my hands were crooked after the army, a normal place was never found, and there was only a broken fifty-millimeter plastic lens with autofocus working on God’s word, but I hope you liked it. Well, the next goal that I hope to get to is Starcon 2015, which again takes place in St. Petersburg from July 31 to August 2 inclusive, but finances are very tight here, so… we’ll see.
See you later!
