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

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
