Up one level         Anger in Athens - June 29, 2010
1 Dirty reality, a blue sky, and a call to arms ... 2 The busy streets of Athens ... empty. 3 Workers on stand by, for the big march. 4 5 6 7 Strike! 8 The march begins. 9 Police turn their heads in respect, where three bank workers lost their lives on May 5. 10 People lined up to see the marchers. 11 A lone kook, with hand-made signs. 12 The march's destination is the main Parliament building. 13 14 The lone kook. 15 Oxygen masks fixed in place. 16 The lone kook walks up to the police. 17 And this other gentleman, anger coursing (he appears again in a few photos). 18 19 Police realise they have to get to a certain point ... 20 21 ... where some people are storming the side entrance of the building. 22 The cops turn them back. 23 24 But the man in green won't go away. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 The other side entrance (driveway). 32 Parasol anyone? 33 34 35 A woman gives the pollies the 36 37 38 Water anyone? ... 39 ... to use to spray the cops! 40 The water-hurler is restrained, as the cops almost retaliate. 41 A little on edge. 42 And then a small explosion. 43 Note the extremists with sticks, keen to fight. 44 The tear gas increases. 45 The cops retreat, but some extremists go towards them. 46 Others hang back, gathering themselves. 47 48 This guy fixes his hand-made mask, and I leave the scene, tear gas in my system.
