Protest signs at the front door.The village of Doel along the river Scheldt has turned into a ghost town. There used to be 900 inhabitants. The village will be demolished to make way for another dock of the harbor of Antwerp. It is very eerie walking around; here and there some people still live in their houses, putting a sign in their window to let the destruction companies know to not demolish their property. Doel has been known in Belgium for the 25-year old nuclear power plant looming like a giant over the village. .© All rights reserved

I chanced upon an Extinction Rebellion protest march and Die-Ins in Brighton. Taking the opportunity for some documentary photography, I followed them for the rest of their protest.
All was very calm and peaceful, although the security guards at the Pier weren't so happy!

The court on Thursday ruled that the Islamist-led Parliament must be immediately dissolved, while also blessing the right of ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister to run for president, escalating a battle for power between the remnants of the toppled order and rising Islamists.

Only sleeping.
Disclaimer: I am not an advocate for the Occupy movement nor do I support the movement. I just take pictures of anything & everything and happened to be in Union Square during the protest.
This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
Comments are, of course, welcomed!

Ok ,so this was my first attempt to photograph a street protest with a DSLR and not using the Auto mode. My difficulties:
1.People are moving and you are moving too, everyone is pushing you to a side since you are trying to take a photo from the front and therefore blocking the way. Stability is a dream.
2.You need to switch to shutter speed mode as you want to freeze the motions. Then, as a matter of fact, everything turns underexposed.
3.You have to give up your favorite ISO100 and use a higher ISO : (
4.If you use Auto focus, you’ll be slow. If you focus manually, you’ll never get it right.
5.You need to do your best not to get emotional and just record the event. I find it the hardest part!
Well, “education” is what I need I guess ;)
Protests in Moscow against a new housing program which would see millions of residents in the capital resettled from their old Soviet-era apartments to newly built ones. Protesters believed the real reason behind the program was to move citizens from valuable real estate located in the central areas of the capital and open the land up for developers.
