G20 Protest Pictures, part 4

The fourth and final part of this rather epic photo diary of the 2009 Climate Camp and G20 protests in London.

Poetry in motion...

...No, REALLY in motion!

Too many distractions for me join in...

Om Sweet Om. No, they were very quiet actually.

A timely reminder of those who have fallen...

...In support of their beliefs.

Nature doesn't do bail outs, but lawyers do if you're nicked.

More RoboVans. I wonder how much overtime they get for doing this?

After the tents have been packed, the drawings washed away, the banners taken down and everybody has gone home, after the cars roll back in and it's business as usual in The City of London, what have we achieved by what we all did over this last week?

Maybe nothing directly tangible (although RBS may disagree), but we've shown that there is another way we can utilise our city spaces, another way of life that can be pursued outside of the endless treadmill of aquiring more things and more money, the house, the car, the 2.5 children and the dog.

You can also choose to opt out of all this nonesense and be yourself, try to fulfill your true potential as a Human Being.

In fact just to simply be yourself in the dysfunctional, conformist, materialistic society we find ourselves living in is probably one of the most revolutionary things you can do.

To detourn someone else's catchphrase...

JUST DO IT!

To echo another poster thanks so much for posting this.

I enjoyed looking at the pictures and especially reading the captions. Its this kind of stuff that provides a lovely little antidote to the violence on the day. Thats the good thing about Indymedia, lots of different takes on events so one can really get a good idea of EVERYTHING that happened on the day from every perspective.
