Picspam: Deutscher Evangelischer Posaunentag

[dieastra]

I have no idea how to translate that so I won't even try. It's a church event, this weekend over 22,000 people who play trombone, trumpet, horn or tuba are in Dresden, and there is music everywhere in the city. I am just back home from all of them playing together at the river Elbe. I've never been so close, and hearing these brass instruments so loud was awesome! They played on both sides of the river and in the end there were fireworks.

WOW, these look incredible :D Especially he last one at night :D

Next weekend we're having our annual marine days here in Szczecin, maybe I'll drag myself there to take pics of some vessels :P

Yeah, best background ever! In Summer, they also play movies there on a screen. Best open air cinema in the world.

That sounds awesome as well! Although I'd be more interested whether they are men in uniforms ;) Or is it not military at all? More like sailors? I once was to something similar in Hamburg, lots of sailboats everywhere.

Yeah, it's just a celebration, music concerts, events and visiting vessels from different countries, both military ships and non-military sailboats :D

Next year we're gonna be once again hosting the Tall Ships Races finals = insanely large awesome sailboats and the whole city filed with sailors in uniforms, LOL
