ASTANA. July 6. KAZINFORM /Damir Baimanov/ - In Astana about half a thousand people were standing with yellow and blue umbrellas picturing the national flag of Kazakhstan which was photographed from a satellite.
Such a flash-mob was the first event in Central Asia. «We wanted to make a very special gift for Astana. It is a rare thing to see so many people assemble in one place and perform such an unusual action. I remember several similar gatherings in Russia picturing the word "thank you", - project coordinator Oleg Yakhov commented.
The quality of the shots will be estimated in several days after the air and space snapshots are processed. Later the pictures will be posted in the internet.
