Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) wow - I do love that Peter the great segment (he learned to build ships in the Netherlands - therefore the Dutch and the Russian flag have the same colours) That march is the "Petersburg March" - very famous march Edited February 7, 2014 by Citius Altius Fortius Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alphacarter 31 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 This is why I don't like projections. It can be very engaging to the television viewers. But the second you look at it from the ground it loses all beauty it may have had. It's a very easy thing to implement but IMO is a bit lazy on the behalf of the organisers. Can be used well if not so literal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
