La Reginetta - a photo on Flickriver

La Reginetta

34. Irene, (sulla destra) viene incoronata dalla vincitrice dell'anno passato.

Note.
L'evento è iniziato con 45 minuti di ritardo a causa della protesta PRC, IDV e Cobas(?!) contro la presenza all'evento di Emilio Fede (poi grazie a DIO, assente). Questa protesta mi trova perfettamente d'accordo. La scelta del Comune di finanziare la presenza del conduttore è stata penosa. Peggio ha fatto solo l'assessore al turismo che ha definito i manifestanti "la Pescara peggiore".
Che pena, ogni tanto s'imparano a memoria qualche idiozia (es. Non metteremo MAI le mani nelle tasche degli italiani) e i vari signori la ripetono ad ogni occasione. PENA! PENA!

Per quanto riguarda la foto, non avevo l'attrezzatura necessaria. All'inizio per entrare bisognava pagare un biglietto ma dopo la contestazione hanno aperto le transenne e io mi sono seduto.
Sono capitato in fondo e non potevo pretendere molto dal mio 17-85 mm. Ci sarebbe voluto almeno un 70-200. Verso la fine il pubblico è scemato e ho potuto guadagnare posizioni. Questa è una delle ultime foto.

Irene, the beautiful (on the right) is crowned by the former winner of last year.

Notes.
The event started with 45-minute delay because the protest PRC, IDV and Cobas (!?) Against the presence at the event by Emilio Fede (then thank God, no). This protest is I totally agree. The choice of the City to fund this charade dime was painful. Worse is the fact that only the Head of Tourism has called the protesters "the worst Pescara."
What a pain, sometimes you learn by heart some nonsense (eg, never put your hands in the pockets of Italians) and the various lords repeat it at every opportunity. PAIN! PAIN!

As for the photo, I did not have the necessary equipment. At first you had to pay to get a ticket but after the dispute has opened the barriers and I'm sitting.
I came down and I could not expect much from my 17-85 mm. It would take at least a 70-200. Towards the end, the public has waned and I was able to gain positions. This is one of the last photos.
