Awesome pictures, so much pageantry.
The one with the three kids grinning at the camera is easily my favorite. It just seems to capture a great moment.

That is truly, amazingly an unbelievable set of photos, and suddenly made me feel very hopeful about people and life.
Totally agree with Trent! Hopefully, magnificent, vibrant, and fearless! Outstanding photos!!!
It will be a vanilla world when we’ve destroyed everything but our own culture. I like vanilla … but I like other flavors too. Glad there are at least these wonderful pictures.
Hehe..vanilla is good…our favourite is chocolate and lemon ;)
