Give pics a chance...

This slogan caught my eye...


As did this one - it's interesting to see the level of detail some people are interested in.


Apparently this is the official position of Oxford University Students Union. I presume Tony Blair's son is one of them.


This girl refused to get down when a policeman told her to, because she wanted me to take her picture  :)


You meet some interesting people on demo marches. Bet she was warm.


And then there was the bloke randomly handing out 'Uno' cards, with anti-war slogans hand-written on them.


These next three are all taken from the same position, one to the left, one straight ahead, and one to the right:







Mirrored sign on side of office building. Delusions of artistic nature.


If you've ever worried about going along to these things, don't. I know there's a lot of weird types there, bank managers, housewives, etc, but there are also plenty of normal people like you and me:




There are also small people:



(the signs read "Kids like me are getting bombed right now")

I obviously look like the type who gets arrested, someone made a point of getting me to take one of these leaflets...


In the park, there were lots of jugglers and poi and fun stuff happening. I was so busy joining in that I didn't take many pictures - this is about the only good one.


And finally, here's our beloved defenders of law and order, 'advancing to the rear' after a few of their number tried to turn a peaceful demo into a fight. We herded them out of the park instead.

Utterly LOVE that last one. It won't let me save it to my hard drive though, any chance you could email me a copy? alixandrea AT norse DOT org DOT uk. You should send it to http://www.indymedia.org as well, they'd love a shot like that.

Its really beautiful...

Sorry, I'll stop going on now... ;-)

That's the middle one of a series of three, with the police first almost filling the picture, then the one you see, then them almost gone :) Sadly, due to my shaky hand, the other two were too blurry to be worth posting - but for some reason this one came out really sharp.

Happy to send you a copy - the original is 1280x960, what size would you like?

[alixandrea.livejournal.com]

Cor that's huge!! ;-) Um, how about a halfsize version of it? That should be fine as long as you can send it OK. :-) Cheers!

Cor that's huge!!

Yeah yeah, I've heard that before  ;)

Halfsize is easy enough... I'll send you that tonight.

Actually I've just looked at the originals again, and I don't know why I thought the pic before it was blurry, it's fine. I've added it above and will send you that one too, hope that's okay...
