Protest Line Reflected in Nottingham Office Towers

Rain-slicked pavement mirrors a dense line of protesters marching along a barricaded route near Nottingham. Overcast skies cast a flat, grey light across the gathering, highlighting the wet sheen on asphalt and the varied colors of jackets and placards. The scene is framed by towering glass office buildings that rise steeply on either side, their facades doubling the movement of the crowd below. Layers of depth recede into the distance where the line stretches toward the horizon, obscured by the heavy cloud cover. Puddles on the ground capture fragmented reflections of the figures and the steel structures above. One red banner held aloft at the front edge reflects sharply in a dark puddle, marking the start of the procession.
