G20 Protests, Melbourne, Australia

MELBOURNE, Nov 18 2006 - Protests against a summit of the world's financial leaders in Melbourne turned violent on Saturday when activists clashed with police.

Police locked down several blocks of Australia's second biggest city to stop protesters reaching the meeting of the Group of 20 economic powers, after violent anti-globalisation protests marred a World Economic Forum in Melbourne in 2000.

A hard core group of protesters dressed in white overalls and hoods, their faces covered, moved from one barricaded street to to another, violently confronting police.

Awesome shot, the fragility of the woman in contrast with the force/brutality of the police. Great work

This is just so poetic... if it were a movie scene, it would play in slow motion with terribly sad piono music in the background...
