Scenes from Seattle's No Kings

[pat_k]

It was difficult to get a shot of the overall crowd (everywhere with a good vantage was packed with people, which I count as a good thing!). FWIW, here is some of what I captured.

BTW, news outlets are estimating about 90,000 in Seattle (20,000 over the previous No Kings event).

Personally, I think the three venues that came together (Cal Anderson Park, Seattle Center, and the Ferry Terminal) numbered more than 100,000, but that's not based on much more than starting with a guesstimate of how many visual blocks of about 100 people went by in a minute of the march (about 10) and multiplying by the 2 hours it took to get from the beginning to the end.

5. Send photos. I can edit you into anywhere.

I just put Mike Johnson riding a bike bare-ass at 8000 feet altitude (in a couple of feet of snow) in Yosemite National Park. just "chillin"

No AI here, so it just takes a little time to get things right.

Pix must be SFW!

Nice poster!

Speaking of the topic.. Kind of the reverse!

6. Nope. Certainly not SFW!

Hard to decide which members of the regime are depicted,

As far as me with my sign, I'll just have to bother someone to snap a pic at the next No Kings, which will be even bigger.

We WILL get to over 10 million.

And the tide WILL start turning.

7. I meant placing you in some setting.

You gotta be SFW. Any of the band of nazis are fair game. Poor Mike on a bike. I had to cover his whatever, but it took very little to do so.

8. Thanks! I understood, but not worth the trouble.
