Saturday 6 April 2013

On Saturday afternoon, photographed the anti-Grand National demo outside Ladbrooks and the return of the Occupy Nottingham folks in the Market Square.

A sunny day, the first time for ages brought out a variety of folks to enjoy the day.  Including a variety of 'Devils' who dropped by at the Occupy stall.  http://nottingham.indymedia.org/articles/5549

[Monday: I know Thatcher has just died .... but I've just finished this work, so might as well add it ..... before I go out and party. YAY!]

Anyway also included were people expressing their exuberance with acrobatics and freerunning .....

Prepared some "animated gif's" to help big-up these activities. [some from earlier as well].

The authorities are not keen of course, with wardens poking noses in every so often.  Health and safety yet again, I guess.

A few other examples:
