Emmie!
Thanks for the pics! This one is from Russia's traditional "Woman's Day" celebration. Kind of like our Valentine's Day. Women are treated to roses and chocolates and, in the skydiving community it is very common to have a fun jump together. See the roses for this woman in the picture? I've had the pleasure of being involved in this holiday and they really do it up right :^) !
Missing my friends from over there,
ltdiver

Again, thanks Emma!
This is a pic of my good friend Alia Veselova (woman on the right). She was the captain of the Russian woman's 4-way team for 5 years. She's now retired and has a beautiful baby daughter just one year old now. Her husband, Andrey Veselov, is the photographer here as well. He's won many photo competitions in Russia for his skydiving work. Great people!
Grins,
ltdiver
PS I'll post a pic of their daughter if I can find it around here somewhere.

Russia's traditional "Woman's Day"


Isn't that a Socialist holiday, not a Russian one? Celebrated for the first time in Russia Feb 23, 1917, the first major demonstration of the revolution that ended the Tsar's rule?
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
