Tango at Plaza 29a

August 27, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This is a performance of Tango song and dance put on at Olympic Plaza. For most of the shots I took, the facial expressions of the dancers, weren't very visible. But, the lack of good shots of the dancers was made up for by shots of the singer.

Team Tibet Freedom

It was a long day, with a long march, in the sun. Time for a rest. This concludes the protesting day, we'll be back again.

Tibetan Freedom Fist Jab

However, Fox News (and maybe the PRC) may call this a "terrorist fist jab".

Wearing buttons for Tibet

August 23, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This is one of the pictures I took in downtown Calgary of a protest for Tibetan freedom against the Chinese government. Protesters started at Olympic Plaza and marched to the Chinese consulate, which is where these protesters are. The girl is wearing assorted pro-Tibet buttons.

Denise rides off with cops

August 23, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Protester Denise Ogonoski can be seen in the back seat, being taken away by police. She was taken in because she had climbed up a light pole to put up a Tibetan flag outside the Chinese consulate. One thing that concerned me after this happened, was I overheard another protester asking where Denise was taken, and the police officer didn't seem to know or care to find out.
