Subject: [Leica] IMG: May Day in Alicante
From: photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)

I went to the main May Day demonstration on Friday, arranged by the  
two main trade unions. Partly because I expected it to provide photo  
opportunities, partly because I was curious to see how the current  
crisis would be reflected in the event, and partly because I am the  
son and grandson of Social Democrats and so feel a certain affinity  
with the labour movement.

The atmosphere was friendly and good-natured, nothing like the riots  
seen in Germany or France. Maybe it is the more laid-back Spanish  
lifestyle, maybe it is the good weather, maybe it is the prospect of  
tapas and beer afterwards. In any event, the pictures are here:

As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
