Oct. 15 Caledonia Pics, Vol.1

 

Ok, after hours of scanning, colour/exposure adjustments (my exposures were Waaaaay off for a lot of shots) and retouching dust spots, here is the first batch of photos from Caledonia on Oct. 15/06. You may notice that the pics are a little heavy on the anti-reclamation protesters... That's because I decided that after spending so much time amongst the reclamation, I wanted to see what the sentiments of those opposed were for myself (they ranged from understandable frustration to out-right racism and bigotry by  the way...). I also had  a feeling that if the shit hit the fan, this is where it would happen, therefore this is where me and my camera should be...   My initial thoughts on the afternoon can be found HERE.
 
Any hoo, enough with boring words, here's the first of the Pics! (*hint: if you click them, they get bigger!)
