Black Lives Matter protestors and public artworks around the Statehouse & Capitol Square - downtown Columbus,OH.
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.

Winter view of the Wild and Scenic Table Rock Fork of the Molalla River, March 5, 2019 by Greg Shine, BLM.
On March 12, 2019, President Trump signed into law the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (also known as the Dingell Act), a comprehensive public land management bill with over 170 separate sections that affect almost every state in the nation.
Among the spectacular new additions to the National Landscape Conservation System in Oregon was the addition of the Table Rock Fork of the Molalla River to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
A scenic drive along the Table Rock Fork provides stunning views, access to two riverfront day-use picnic areas, and access to the Table Rock Wilderness.
Just downstream, the Molalla River Recreation Area is located approximately 10 miles southeast of Molalla in Clackamas County. From the town of Molalla, drive east on Main St/OR 211. Veer right at the OR 211/Mathias Road intersection, follow signs for Feyrer Park. Once past Feyrer Park, cross over the Molalla River, turn right, and follow signs for Dickey Prairie Rd. Continue south on Dickey Prairie Rd, keeping the Dickey Prairie Store on your left. At 3.7 miles past the store, turn right on Molalla Forest Rd and cross Glen Avon Bridge.
The Molalla River Trail System is an extensive network of more than 20 miles of trails for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. The system combines both single track trails and old forest roads. The trails wind through the forested foothills and slopes of the Molalla River Valley, occasionally offering scenic glimpses of the forests and mountains of the Cascade Range.
The system offers a variety of difficulty levels for a wide range of mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding enthusiasts. Trails are generally marked with directional signs and levels of difficulty. The best equestrian access to the trail system is from Hardy Creek or Annie’s Cabin Trailheads where there is ample parking for horse trailers. Mountain bikers and hikers may prefer to access the trail system via Amanda’s, AmeriCorps, and Sandquist ’s Trailheads.

View of the Oregon Canyon Ridge from Jackson Summit, June 8, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.
Just 15 miles north of the Oregon-Nevada state line and
7 miles east of U.S. Highway 95, the 6,440-foot Jackson Summit overlooks much of the south-central section of Oregon Canyon Country.
To its west loom the east side of the rugged Oregon Canyon Mountains, while the rolling hills to the east provide glimpses of pastoral Grasshopper Flat and the Antelope Creek watershed.
In spring, wildflowers abound in the area, and flow like seasonal streams from the east slope of Jackson Summit into Grasshopper Flat.
Most visitors are merely passing through, on their way to access Anderson Crossing on the West Little Owyhee Wild and Scenic River, but the area is well worth a visit - especially during wildflower season.

Richmond, Va / USA - August 8th, 2020: A mirror left on the vandalized Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue after protests at the new Marcus David Peters Circle. The Confederate statues have been a controversial issue for years and became a visual symbol in the Richmond George Floyd Protests in the summer of 2020.
This was a photo taken at my friend's house in West Campus. She lives roughly three minutes walking distance from me (we live in the northern edge of West Campus). I was picking up some supplies from her house when I noticed the poster. We've both taken proactive roles in the BLM movement--she protests and I run an organization--so these sorts of conversations come up all the time within our friend groups.
My photo is a picture of a college male wearing a BLM sweatshirt in line at Amy’s Ice cream. Amy’s is walking distance from west campus, so I only drove about two minutes from my house to get there. I was standing behind this man just doing my weekly ice cream run with my friends when I noticed his sweatshirt was to show support for BLM. I thought this moment was perfect, as I did not even have to go out of my way to find something related to BLM, it essentially was standing right in front of me. So, I went up and talked to the guy and asked if I could take a picture of his sweatshirt for our class discussion. He was super personably and very intrigued that we had to go out and find BLM somewhere in our community. While talking to the gentlemen, it reminded me that BLM is talked about a good amount especially with us living in the heart of the city. I also think because UT is such a diverse campus, the topic comes up a lot in class lectures or just in everyday conversation with friends.

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.

On its last day of service Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen–Mürren (BLM) class Ce 2/4 number 11 approaching Mürren.
Depicted in a "yarn bomb" in front of a church on Guadalupe St, right next to UT, close to my apartment. The church in question has always seemed to value creativity, expression, and social justice. Because they used to have an art instillation for LGBTQ rights, I like to think someone from the congregation made this. I think Black Lives Matter naturally should be an issue that religious groups care about. Radical Christians are so up in arms about abortions, it's surprising that random, extrajudicial murder isn't much of a priority. I'm glad to see that this congregation is leading a discussion amongst its believers.
