The Presidents Palace. In December 1997 the capital of Kazakhstan was moved from Almaty to Astana (meaning capital in Kazakh, it was previously called Aqmola, and Tselinograd). Construction ever since has been intense, giving the city a modern feel.

Brand new construction in the "new city" located south of the river Ishim and south of the old city. Built to hold the government and embassy offices as well as housing for the bureaucrats and diplomats.

Wedding party taking pictures

[D&A]

Интересно, Правда стоило ли создавать тред? ИМХО у нас есть прекрасный, но давнозабытый тред Rediscovering...

[Major Deegan]

Тут более 1,000 фотографий, каждая интересна по своему. Так что пристегивайся хорошо, поездка затягивается :lol:

[D&A]

Здорово! Пристегнулся.:)

[maximum]

Очень интересный тред, ну и фото нетривиальные, особенно из Караганды - жизнь как жизнь. Надеюсь, на свадьбе рыльце не начистили как представителю тлетворного Запада:))) драка, в общем-то - это неотъемлемая часть наших свадеб.
Ну в то же время думаешь, как любят наши люди эту показуху, ну и без покатушек по городу ну никак необойтись.)

[D&A]

драка - атрибут нашей свадьбы? Может и встречается где-то в деревнях.. Зачем так жестоко с иностранным фотографом?:ohno:
