The streaks at the top of the frame are raindrops falling toward me, which were lit up by nearby stage lights at the zoo. For the astronomers in the audience, this illustrates why meteor showers appear to radiate from a point in the sky: they are approaching from a far distance, the vanishing point, and depending on various motions, that point is in a different place in the sky. Drivers in snow can see the same thing.

Day 2 - Border Wall from the Mexican Side - Nogales, AZ to Nogales, Sonora

Border Encuentro - November 10-12, 2017
Day 2 of the "Border Encuentro" began with a Veterans For Peace led march from about 1 mile north of the border in Nogales, AZ to the border wall. There, the march split with hundreds following the wall on the US side and hundreds more crossing the border en-mass into Mexico and assembling across the wall from the US marchers. The stage had been assembled on the Mexican side and as speeches were given and music performed a massive mural was wheat pasted onto the backdrop with the theme of the weekend... "Tear Down the Walls. Build Up the People." 30 minutes into the performances, 100's more arrived with the Caravana Internacional por la Unidad de los Pueblos, marching along The Wall and carrying banners. Originating in Oaxaca on October 31, the Caravana Internacional arrived at the Border Encuentro after 12 days traveling the length of Mexico.
The "Border Encuentro", organized by SOA (School of the Americas) Watch, originated in 1990 as a yearly protest outside the gates of Fort Benning in Georgia. 2017 is the 2nd year that the gathering has moved to the US/Mexico border region in Arizona. Thousands from across the country gathered to take a hard look at the massive human costs of border militarization and US immigration policies and to protest the long and continuing history of US intervention in the affairs of Latin America.

Did the wash at home. This is on Market Street, looking up Stockton with the tunnel under the hill in the distance there. I had just been to the Virgin Megastore for the last time; it is closing down, unsurprisingly - all the ones in the UK changed to Zavvi a couple of years ago and now Zavvi too has vanished. Virgin is behind that lamp-post there.
Enjoyed drawing this one a lot. Used a copic multiliner and it was nicer than the microns I was using the previous day.
The cab I rode in on my way back from getting my teeth cleaned this morning had a small, perfectly round hole in the floorboard (!).
I asked the cab driver why it was there, and he laughed and told me that he isn't assigned the same cab every day, and that this particular Crown Victoria was probably a police car in another life.

Went to Valley Fest Balloon launch early Friday morning. Only one balloon was set up in the dark. Lori, one of the Fire Dispatchers that is fighting cancer got to go up in the first one. Knock one off her bucket list.
