No Kings Anchorage

 There's still nearly a foot of snow on the ground.  Fortunately, the temperature warmed up during the day into the 20s so if you were standing in the sunshine, it was not too bad.  

This is a bit late because I was having trouble loading photos - you'd think after all these years that wouldn't happen.  

When I got there I moved up onto the hill on the south side of the Town Square.  There was about a foot of snow, some of it reasonably packed, but some steps had me sinking down into the snow.  The view from here was not conducive to a good view of everyone.  

So after a while I moved over to the steps at the Performing Arts Center.  (You can see people there on the far left about in the middle.  The view from there, while still not perfect was much better as you can see below.  

How many people were there?  Not an easy job to calculate from the ground.  There were clearly a lot more people than had been at a previous protest demonstration at the Town Square that had about 2,500 people.  I tried counting a cluster of 50 and then trying to see how many clusters there were.  It really was hard to do that accurately, so I'll leave a broad ranged guess of 3000-5000 folks.
