] Hundreds of thousands of people in white shirts poured
] onto the streets of Hong Kong on Thursday to vent their
] frustration at Chinese rule and challenge Beijing's
] refusal to allow them to elect their own leaders.

Choosing stories this morning for their pictures. This is Victoria Park full of protesters. I usually stayed in a hotel in Hong Kong which had this same view. If its possible to feel homesick for a place you only worked in over the course of a few months this picture does it.

Linked are a few more pictures via Yahoo.. I recognize most of them as being from the Causeway Bay area, but there is one that I'm pretty sure is the tram station/u-turn thing in Happy Valley. Looks like there were mobs of people everywhere.
