Description

Sometimes not doing what you are told can get you in trouble.
Other times it gets you some really good shots.
Behind me, and walking towards me was the main part of the G8 Anticapitalim Rally.
5,000 police were on the streets of Edinburgh that day, and for the most part they kept
the peace.

It was a strange situation to be in the middle of, made more surreal that the police outnumbered
the protestors I'd say 20 to 1, and the press and photojunkies like myself outnumbered the police 2 to
1. If there was going to be a riot that day, it was going to be one of the most documented events in
the world.

nice shot but "and for the most part they kept
the peace." is a bit ironic the way they are standing ;>
