A bit of a celebration today - but it's canned, from old stock!
It would be interesting to suggest playing a guessing game - how many will be able to correctly answer the question of what is shown in this photo? I won't offer to play (and I don't have a big prize pool to entice you...)
Anyway, this is a very old photo and I have fond memories of it.
This is a fragment of a holiday - people dance and have fun, celebrate Christmas...
...and listen to performances by singers and animators, stand-up artists. Performances of course took place on stage - and here its time to reveal this week WoX photography challenge suggested topic was: 'On stage'.
More details on the contest.

Those folks were invited to the stage and given a lesson how to have fun!
The lesson was successful... and fruitful, bringing smiles to the faces - at least for a few hours.
One of my fave captures from that evening: a young girl, artist of a drumming genre, after entering the stage gave a joke: "For years I dreamed of saying from this stage: hello, St.Petersburg! And now my dream came true in a rather strange way, so I say: Hello, Peter!.." It was one of the funniest highlights of the evening for me, still memorable.
Of course, since then I have captured many other artists singing and dancing onstage, showing tricks, blowing soap bubbles etc etc etc... - but I selected this oldie event to present you cause these frames are less straightforward, the color is non-trivia, and it all leave a lot of room for your imagination; hope you enjoyed it. Let me round up my post here.
