Gangs of New York
Rockerfeller Centre, New York pictured in February this year.
This weekend, 145 years ago, vicious rioting took place in New York city. The rioters, many of them Irish immigrants, protested against conscription to fight into the Union Army to fight in the Civil War, took their anger out mainly on African-Americans, the very people that the war was intended to liberate. The full story is described here.
Camera = Canon G9 – shot through a canopy across the street.
Very creative. I like this shot a lot!
