Chanting Hare Krishna at Park
This is after the chariot had parked. Everyone was at Shaw Millennium Park. The man with the microphone was doing some more Hare Krishna chanting. He is holding one of the food offerings by the monks on the chariot (I surmised).

House Doctors 07

House Doctors 07
This is my picture of the band House Doctors at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Unfortunately, lighting was rather difficult for my camera, and none of my shots turned out that great. I saw the same band on August 25, 2008 at the Eau Claire Y. The concert here at Olympic Plaza, to me, was higher quality, with better sound; I assume due to a better setup.

Denise rides off with cops

Denise rides off with cops
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.
