Denise Ogonoski (right) was one of the members of Students for a Free Tibet that were deported from China during the Beijing Olympics. She spoke at the rally, here at Olympic Plaza, and later on, tried waving a Tibetan flag up on a light pole outside the Chinese consulate, which got her a ride in a Calgary Police Service car. Here, she's being interviewed by Katie Schneider of the Calgary Sun.

Evil swarm in Christian play

I visited Prince's Island to see the Canada Day 2008 celebration. Just off a bridge from the island, I saw this group performing a play. I beleive this is a Christian evangelical group. My guess of what was supposed to be happening is the three girls in black had been acting as "sin" or "temptresses" to the guy they're surrounding.

I happened to be looking through some pics from a Christian-themed silent street play on Canada Day and thought this one was worth adding to the existing set. Picture quality sucks because of the distraction of passerbys, and focus isn't great, but it fills a gap in the story line of the play. My Canada Day set is ordered by time taken, if you're interested in seeing them in chronological order. Sometimes I like to look back at older pics and figure out what was happening.

I visited Prince's Island to see the Canada Day 2008 celebration. Just off a bridge from the island, I saw this group performing a play. I beleive this is a Christian evangelical group. The girl in the foreground is one of three dressed in black, appeared to be playing some sort of "evil" figure bothering the poor guy on the ground.

I visited Prince's Island to see the Canada Day 2008 celebration. Just off a bridge from the island, I saw this group performing a play. I believe this is a Christian evangelical group. Three girls played the part of figures that were tempting the man on the ground into sin. At this point, one offers him money. Later, the guy in white behind, "saves" the man on the ground.
