Here are some more photos from Astana. The first is of the Gas and Oil ministry building on the day of the 10th anniversary of Astana becoming the country's capital. All throughout the city there were events staged and people out everywhere, and at night there were fireworks along the riverfront. Though we were only Kaz for a few nights, we did get to experience this big celebration and to see the city at the height of the summer with its long days and and its residents out and about enjoying the sunshine.
