Occupy Wall Street: October 30, 2011

All photos taken Sunday October 30, 2011 at some time before 8AM. Resized and resampled to VGA, click any to enlarge. Photos appear in the order they were taken.

These are near-99% of the photos this time. The weather was again bad — very cold — and there wasn’t much to see and I wanted to get inside again ASAP. I circled once and took pictures and left.

Occupy Wall Street: October 29, 2011

All photos taken Saturday October 29, 2011 between 7:40-8:00AM. Resized and resampled to VGA, click any to enlarge. Photos appear in the order they were taken.

These are near-95% of the photos this time. The weather was bad and there wasn’t much to see and I wanted to get inside again ASAP, so I didn’t take a whole lot.

Some photos are not sharp due to rain getting on the lens element.

Barricades remain around the sculpture to prevent another nutcase from climbing it.
