#photoadaymay | 5/21 - Where you stand
Another pic of the Capitol building. This time during a snowy day during some controversial times in Madison. This was during the peak of protests going on surrounding Wisconsin's current Governor Scott Walker. The Forward statue has been dressed with a Guy Fawkes mask covering her face and a for sale sign around her neck. She has a blindfold on under the mask that had been there for a while before. This is from over a year ago, but doesn't seem so long ago. Perhaps since it's sort of on-going (the recall election is in a couple weeks here in Wisconsin). I found it really neat to see the people gather, protest peacefully, for or against the changes, the marching, singing, donating, organization, and everything else. So did the media I guess. There were lots of news vans, cable tv shows recording, celebrities and activists showing up. It was, and is, an interesting time, regardless of where you stand on the issues.
