Carnival in Kiev

While I'm preparing to drive up to Philly to see a long anticipated Pixies show this evening and then return to Kiev on Sunday, my bride-to-be is already back in Ukraine and went down to Independence Square and Kreshatik earlier today to take some pictures of what is going on after the announcement yesterday by the Supreme Court that the results of the thrown second round of elections were to be tossed out and a new round was to be held in three weeks. She described the atmosphere on the street to me as "like a carnival" when I spoke to her earlier. I think these pictures she took illustrate that perfectly.
