Taken while out shopping in central Manchester yesterday. These guys were all happy to pose for a photo and say cheese for me:

BTW, last time I posted here, there was a reproachful "get closer"...... Is this close enough?

    I'd say that's plenty close. Those masks look familiar.

    nod.gif It's the Guy Fawkes mask and it's turning up often lately. Just last night, there was a demonstration across the street from me by people protesting proposed legislation to curb Internet piracy, which is rampant in Spain. Many people were wearing the same mask. The association is with anarchism and revolution. It was also used in the comic and later movie V for Vendetta. I love the Wiki. lol3.gif

    Nice picture, but I think all the expressions could do with a bit of variety to make it more interesting! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks all for looking and commenting
    But why the masks at a demonstration against Scientology? Well, the the Church of Scientology can often be seen filming the demonstrations from their offices and have been known to identify, call the lawyers and generally try to intimidate anyone who demonstrates against them (the children of L Ron are a litigious bunch (as anyone who can't get hold of a certain episode of South Park in the US may well know).
