Closeups from San Diego
A few more images gleaned from my adventure in San Diego yesterday. I went back to the raw images and focused in on a few things. These are thumbnails, so click for the larger image.
Yes, nothing quite says Loons in View like the giant paper-mache puppets! The Burka thingy on the left was one of a few in the area and the one on the right seems to be an escapee from a different protest. Probably one where the Left was protesting Western Civilization's horrible interference in bringing indoor plumbing to the humble people's of South America. Who are we to interfere with the happy life of dirt floors and high infant mortality rates? Notice how all the faces in the pic are really really happy!
On the left we get a glimpse of what the well-dressed "I'm here to oppose The Man!" protestor wears. Leave aside her happy, attentive demeanor for the time being and look at the studied care in which she brings together a couple of t-shirts, carefully ripped olive green skirt, varied bunches of necklaces and bracelets, fishnet stockings, black socks pulled up over the stockings and sensible black shoes. Add the fashion accessory of the pithy "No War" sign pinned to her chest and one must pause in awe. Just behind her on the right we find the ubiquitous all-in-black androgynous look so popular with this demographic.
The picture on the right is a close up of the Saddam Iraq flag I had posted earlier. The smaller image taken with the sun almost directly behind the flag had washed out the Arabic writing Saddam added to the Iraq flag. This closeup shows, indeed, the flag had the writing.
Oh! And don't miss the Devil GW pic in the previous post.

I have some more pics on my site, plus an op-ed.
I'll keep trying to get the whole video on there as well.
