Vizag 4 u.. President's Fleet Review

the huge crowd that turned out at the beach




people everywhere




one of the large ships on display




this was a demonstration of a bomber (i suppose) destoying an enemy ship.. the smoke had a nice halo at the top




the only ship that was visible clearly :(




another boat speeding by




a helicopter carrying commandos




close-up




flying right above us




commandos on boat and a submarine in the background




a ship and a sub




a tricoloured kite.. flying high




there were people perched on all the buildings around




that's the famous hill.. referred to as the "dolphin's nose"




the crowd.. some enjoing a dip




ships decorated with lights along their contour




close-up




few men watching the fireworks
its good to see people coming out with the Indian flag for such occasions





it was a full moon day




Location: RK Beach, Vizag
Occasion:
Celebration of President's Fleet Review 2006 (website -
http://www.pfr2006.nic.in/) at the Eastern Naval Command

PS: There was lot of firework in the night including a missile launch and rockets fired from the ships simultaneously, but I couldn't capture those and thought it wise to enjoy the sight than trying to capture something out of it. You can check out some nice pictures and the news from the articles at
The Hindu and centralchronicle.com
