October 2010 Photo Challenge

[Vertigo]

The theme for October is :

Us and Them​

It could be looking at harmony or conflict, it could be sport, commenatry on racism/ageism/sexism, even different animal species. Or indeed any other interpretation you may come with.

Please only post Photos here; there is a separate thread for discussion:
http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/529004-photo-challenge-discussion-october.html

The usual rules apply:

- only two photographs per participant
- do not use photographs already posted around the site
- voting begins on, or around, the 27th of the month
- the winner must post a new challenge within a couple of days
- all Chrons members welcome to enter
- all Chrons members may vote (including those who do not enter the competition)



And just to clarify:

- the photograph must be one you have taken yourself (perferably one you have taken for the challenge, but posting old photos is fine as long as YOU took them)

Best of luck!!

Images taken during the trouble this Saturday in Leicester

Sorry, got cut off there. The first picture is of riot police chasing down EDL demonstrators (who, moments before, had bravely threatened myself and a group of Sikh pensioners) the other is of Leicester people waiting semi-casually for the storm.

Actually, I'm a bit miffed with meself that I don't know how to make these pictures bigger here on the thread, its all a bit indistinct as is. I do have pictures where I got a lot closer but, due to somewhat racist placards I thought it best to leave off. SF forums are home to a better class of people...

Blimey. I haven't entered a challenge for a while. Been busy! Well, I have two new kittens, as readers of the Got Cats thread will know, so I'll post these pics now, before I get distracted and not enter later this month.

They're not my best pics, but two black cats are hard to photograph, especially when they don't do much other than sleep or pose when I don't have access to my camera

I had to wait until today for the weather to be right AND for my subject matter to be in the right place at the right time in order for me to get the pictures I wanted...
