#ThrowbackThursday with #mypubliclandsroadtrip at Canyon Pintado or Painted Canyon!
Traveling through Canyon Pintado in Colorado, you can find hundreds of archaeological sites, mostly from the prehistoric Fremont culture and the Ute occupations of the canyon. Spanish for Painted Canyon, the area received its name from priests Father Dominguez and Father Escalante, who noticed ancient rock art abound as they journeyed through the Douglas Creek Valley in 1776.
Ancient cultures etched petroglyphs and painted pictographs along the rock walls of the panels, depicting animals, humans and abstract figures. Today, Highway 139 cuts through the canyon, providing access to the rock art as well as to hiking, camping, mountain biking and picnicking opportunities. Seven premiere rock art locations and archaeological sites are located along the canyon, posted with interpretive panels.

Richmond, Va / USA - August 8th, 2020: A business hangs a sign in their storefront to deter damage from the recent protests on Broad Street. It reads "Notice! This is a: Black Owned Business." Protests and marches have taken place over weeks due to police brutality and other inequalities in communities across the US.
I cycled up to London to see a friend in Charlton, then back into the centre to try out my new lens at the Tate / Millennium Bridge. I planned to go to the Black Lives Matter protest, but heard it was off due to the threats from the far-right and football ‘firms’, as they planned to protect statues. Whilst I didn’t see it, I heard they stood by Churchill’s entombed statue and gave nazi salutes - you can’t argue with ignorance like that. Anyway, I made my way to Trafalgar Sq. and was met with police lining the streets and closing the road. They sent me on my way and after the third blockade, I found that they would let people through from Charing Cross Road, by St. Martin’s in the Fields. I asked a policeman if it was okay to go through, it was, so long as I didn’t mind being kept there. I didn’t know what protest was taking place at that point, so was very relieved to find the Black Lives Matter protest, albeit, somewhat smaller as they’d moved the official protest forward to Friday. The police were right, I did get held in while they organised the move of the protest. It got a little tense, as persistent members of the far right were being turned away by police. The horses moved in, I moved up the steps of the church with my camera and bike and an explosive went off, from where I do not know, but didn’t seem to add to the tension. Then wave by wave, the police lines moved the protest on to Leicester Square with no further trouble. I left them there and headed to China town for more pictures, then cycled home. All in all, I was happy to be on the BLM side of the dividing line and next time I’ll leave my bike at home and join them properly.

Richmond, Va / USA - August 8th, 2020: A painted mural left at the vandalized Robert E. Lee statue sits on Monument Avenue after protests at the new Marcus David Peters Circle. Mural reads "Say Their Names" and shows the faces of three individuals killed by police brutality.

Protests and riots sprung up across the U.S. this week following the death of George Floyd, a black man suffocated by a police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.
Around 7 p.m., a protest began in Oklahoma City at the intersection of NW 23rd & Classen. Chants of "NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE." filled the air as hundreds of protesters circled the road to block traffic. Dozens of police officers arrived. Arrests were made. I took as many photos as I could.
Much of the early portion of the protest was peaceful. I couldn't see anyone fighting until police arrived to clear the intersection. Around 9 p.m., protesters started marching toward toward the Plaza District and eventually marched to the Oklahoma City Police Department Headquarters, 700 Colcord, and eventually dispersed from the area at about midnight.
