Fall sunsets are often lovely in South Carolina. After a stressful election season, tonight's sunset seemed like a celebration of peaceful voting.

Today is election day here in Seoul. Our subway stop has been absolute chaos of late with coordinated singing and dancing to endorse the candidates (only in Korea). To say I'll be relieved when it's over is a vast understatement. Alas here is a shot I took last evening to depict the hectic pace around here.
I happened to be staying in our nation's capital on the day of our national election and fog was forecast.... and fog it was.... except in this location. Commonwealth Avenue bridges leading to parliament house and the flag on top. Forgot to bring my filters so the foreground water is sharp but with the fog dissipated the balloon had just taken off which made up for it. Bit of a rush as the balloon was starting to move quickly but I just managed this one before 24mm was not wide enough. Ended up a nice balance I think.
Palomino Valley in Washoe County, Nevada. I wonder how long it will be after the election before this election sign is taken dow. There were places with over 20 election signs in a row at some crossroads.

It is such a lovely day, spring!
(Looks like a good turnout this election, probably 80%)

The WolfgangstraÃe in the sunset on the evening of the federal election. 84% participation means quite a lot of people on the street.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
This truck had a UAW Kerry sticker on the driver's side and a Bush sticker on the passenger side. Couldn't get close enough to get a clearer picture.
It'll be interesting to see what smart aleck comments show up on this one.
56094 comes off the Strood (Medway Valley) line at Paddock Wood with 6Y86 1330 Halling Colas to Hoo Junction Up Yard departmental working conveying new concrete sleepers. Not only UK election day but American Independence Day, we're going left it seems while all around turn to the right!! The main line here has certainly seen a decline in importance in recent years, Eurostars used this route until HS1 opened and prior to that London Victoria-Dover/Folkestone boat trains plied these metals. These days it's not much better than a half hourly interval local service southeast of Tonbridge.

I could tell it was election time in Canada and Ontario.
Had a rafter of 7 turkeys show up in the yard today.
Not sure which political party they represented but they all fed off the corn that was out for the little birds.

A Moussavi supporter was injured in a demonstration. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot dead in clashes with the police in Vanak Square in Tehran.
Tehran’s streets erupted in the most intense protests in a decade as the police clashed with demonstrators who claimed that former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had stolen the election.

French legislative elections took place on 14 and 21 June 1981 to elect the seventh National Assembly of the Fifth Republic.
On 10 May 1981 François Mitterrand was elected President of France. He became the first Socialist to win this post under universal suffrage. It was also the first occasion of alternance (between the right and the left) in government during the Fifth Republic.

Today (sunday) has been Election day here in Sweden and I have been voting and up following the results which are very even, so it is hard to tell what our government will look like.
Check out this short article and see why:

On 1 November there were elections for the Danish parliament. Flags hung to dry on a staircase.

I was on a brake between assignments with the railroad. There was a roll of film that had a few shots left so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk from Union Station, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the The Ellipse, just out side of the south lawn of The White House. I wanted to document the mood during this important day in our nations capitol.
A poster encouraging people to vote in Israel’s 2022 General Election. The slogan says “If you don’t wake up, a surprise awaits you in the morning. On 1 November go out to vote for what’s important to you.” A shocked man is in bed next to the smiling features of the leader of Israel’s religious-right, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
This poster is in Nazareth, an almost entirely Arab city, and was presumably aimed at countering what had traditionally been low turnout among Arabs in Israel’s elections. 2022, however, like most recent elections, saw high Arab voter participation, and Ben-Gvir entered government anyway.

Sowing the seeds by Tears for Fears
High time, we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
The love train rides from coast to coast
DJ's the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean and smash any hope of democracy
As the head line says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
I spy tears in their eyes they look to the skies
For some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam, yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me, in love
Feel the pain
Talk about it
If you're a wanted man
Then shout about it
Open hearts, feel about it
Open minds, think about it
Everyone, read about it
Everyone, scream about it
Everyone (everyone, yeah)
Everyone (everyone) read about it, read about it
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read
Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds,
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words (high time we made a stand and shook up the view of the common man)
Swallow your pride (and the love train rides from coast to coast)
Open your eyes (every minute of every hour)
Open your eyes (I love a sunflower)
Open your eyes (and I believe in love power, love power)
Open your eyes (love power)
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds, an end to need
And the politics of greed
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love (hand in hand), seeds of love (hand in hand), sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
An end to need
The politics of greed
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
November 7, 2020 - Decatur, Georgia - Spontaneous celebration near the Decatur Square yesterday after Joe Biden was declared winner in the 2020 presidential election.
I tried to document this event from different point of view: the people, the media and the enforcement officers
=====
3 March 2012 -- Thousands of people marched to the offices of the Hong Kong city government on Saturday, demanding that outgoing chief executive Donald Tsang stand trial following allegations of ethics violations in his dealings with businessmen.
Organizers said more than 5,000 participated in Saturday's march, but local police estimated about 2,800 turned up at Victoria Park, the site of Hong Kong's annual Tiananmen vigil and where the protest started.
Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 amid promises of a high degree of autonomy. But China's leaders have kept grip over political and administrative elite from behind the scenes.
The city's seven million people can elect some legislative and district council members, but have no direct vote for their top leader, who is selected by a 1,200-strong election committee comprised largely of business leaders and Beijing loyalists.
