Animal Liberation protest at Pitt Street Mall 1561

I took a number of photos today at Pitt Street Mall of a small and peaceful protest organised by Animal Liberation. The protest was designed to shock and quite a few people had a good look at the staged scene.

I had a brief conversation with Animal Liberation representative, Nicole Brown, who said they usually get a lot more attention and are surrounded by media during their protest but only when the protesters are naked or semi-naked. When it comes to actual issue reporting main stream media is not really interested.

When I returned to the site of the protest 20 minutes after this “cages, injured and suffering” photograph was taken, police asked nicely the protesters to “move along” which the group did.

Coincidently this evening all main media outlets carried the news about protesters at the Beijing Olympics “showing skin”.

Wait for me

I have noticed this Asian couple just few minutes before I took this photograph. It was hard not to notice the tall girl in her bright orange dress and pearl white skin. After all this is autumn and most people wear subdued dark coloured clothing.

As they were approaching Town Hall building the man seemed to forget his partner and rushed a bit ahead thus leaving her exposed to the rain. She obviously was not impressed.

They both had biggest laugh when I have shown them the photograph. It is good to come across people who despite the lousy weather can find humour in their own situation.

Sun baking in the park

Unseasonably warm weather has brought a lot of people into the Hyde park to catch the warm autumn rays of sun. There was quite a bit of skin showing on the grass all over the park. Those two pretty girls ware sun baking near the fountain.
