More Pix of Zuccotti Park – Evening After (11/15/11)
Zuccotti Park (the site of Occupy Wall Street) was a remarkably serene scene last night. Protesters were back in the park, engaging in their singular “speak and repeat” style of public speaking. (One person gives a speech in phrases, and the crowd repeats it so all can hear. It sounds like chanting.)
There were plenty of police but there was a much greater calm about the scene, the police chatting with each other and in some cases protesters. (I should note that the police seemed very disciplined whenever I passed by there during the day, although their sheer numbers were daunting, as was perhaps intended.) Sorry the top pix especially are blurry.

I’m glad that things seem pretty calm.

Changed the italics just for you. Thanks for the read and the comment. As to the pics … Really amazing things are happen around the world, and then we’re touched too.

Nah, honestly I only did that because I was too lazy to make a list of the starting words. I like it better without too. 😉

you know, i am glad they are not deterred in the face of opposition and that they could share the message peacefully so that it stands a better chance of being heard…
