Cadets from the Russian tall ship Kruzenshtern. The Russian Tall Ship sailed from Kaliningrad, Russia to Vancouver carrying the flag of the Sochi 2014 Winter Games organizing committee. I captured these shots while walking towards the pier, hoping to get on board, it was not possible this day, as they had a private sail with the Russian Premier Vladimir Putin. The Kruzenshtern is one of the the tallest sailing ships in the world. I remained on the pier until the ship set sail for the day.
