Black and white photo of dead and curled leaves on the top of a high plant stalk. They look leathery in texture.
Black and white photo of multiple seed pods at the top of long stalks. They are backlit dramatically by the afternoon sun.
Black and white closeup photo showing details in the bark of an ornamental tree. There's a mixture of light and shadow falling on the bark, giving it an almost abstract appearance.
Assorted photos from my afternoon travels. All shot with the Konica Minolta DiMAGE G400, with minor edits in darktable. #ShittyCameraChallenge #OakRidgeTN

A nearby ridge with a line of bare trees and a cell phone tower on top. The late afternoon light is raking across the top and some of the trees on the side of the hill.
Last light on a chilly winter's afternoon. #OakRidgeTN #FujifilmXT5

Scenes from the sidewalk in front of the library in Oak ridge TN, where about 45 Patriots joined to exercise their first amendment rights. Visible, readable signs from this photo include, "Save USA 8647", "Be kind America", and "Make America KIND Again"
Scenes from the 30th consecutive weekly protest in Oak Ridge, TN. On one side of the sidewalk are a line of protesters. On the side of the sidewalk where the trees live are two tables set up, one with a table of baked goods raising money for children in Gaza, the other with community resources and extra signs.
Scenes from the 30th consecutive weekly protest in Oak Ridge, TN. A distance photo of most of the line of people exercising their first amendment rights, from noon to 2pm by the library. A line of stopped traffic is visible, and people are peacefully holding their signs so the people in their cars are able to read the signs while driving by. It is visibly near late fall because there are leaves all over the grass and almost none left on the trees.
A photo of the line of protesters from far enough away it appears almost to be a big crowd of about 40 people. There's a line of stopped traffic because Turnpike is one of the major roads, and this photo was taken from the perspective of being near the intersection of Turnpike and Tulane.
More photos for y'all to enjoy, scenes from the sidewalk in #OakRidgeTN 🇺🇲 you'll find a group of us there every Saturday from noon to 2pm from now until fascism is gone. Come join us next week for number 31 🇺🇲
& Please #TN7 let's get y'all out to vote for #Aftyn on or before December 2nd!

Protest sign that is white with black letters, it says, "I'm not your enemy this is not a military training ground"
A mostly sunny day with a few clouds in the distance, the visible trees are mostly without leaves, which are all over the grass. The sidewalk is mostly clear from them, and there are many protesters visible in the distance. Two are closer to the photographer, one is holding a sign that is white with black letters, it says, "be kind America" and there is an American flag attached to the top of it.
Another similar view to the previous photo, trees are bare of leaves, it is clearly late fall. A number of protesters are visible in the distance.
Close up of a sign, white background with black letters, the sign says, "And it's a certain kind of FOOL who likes the SOUND of his own NAME" with "Eagles' Desperado, Certain Kind of Fool (1973)" underneath explaining where the quoted lyrics can be found.
About 45 #patriots joined us once again in front of the library in #OakRidgeTN, for our 30th Saturday in a row of exercising our #FirstAmendment rights while we still can! Come join us next week when we do it again from noon to 2pm 🇺🇲 @nashvilleresist.bsky.social @indivisibleknox.bsky.social

A better view of our "Honk For Democracy" banner, attached to the stop sign to better hold up with how windy of a day it was in Oak Ridge, TN while this protest was happening. Every noon to 2pm by the library on Saturdays in Oak Ridge. The line of protesters is visible in the background, as well as the box truck for David Miller.
A picture of the line of protesters between the sidewalk and the road, sidewalk visible. Many leaves on the ground, it is clearly late fall and anyone walking through the leaf covered grass would be crunching their way through the leaves. I'm the foreground, there is a billboard style poster that says, "What's the big secret fellas?" On the left with a labeled photo of Trump looking at Jeffrey Epstein.
A similar photo to the previous one, just further down the line where we are past the tree with the billboard style sign. There's a group of people on the tree side of the sidewalk near the Southern Resistance Coalition information table, with a sign leaning against the cooler which reads, "All of my outrage won't fit on one sign."
A screenshot of the Facebook album post from SRC with text that reads: "45 Patriots joined us on the sidewalk by the library in Oak Ridge, TN once again, this was week number 29 in a row! Thank you to everyone who joined us on this windy day 🇺🇲 we gathered as a community, and we gathered food for our community members in need. Please come join us next week when it'll be week 30 in a row, bring food for someone in need if you're able, or just bring yourself! We've usually got some extra signs if you don't have one already. As we move into the cooler weather, remember to dress appropriately to stay warm as we continue to exercise our first amendment rights while we still can!" Then about 5 visible photos with the 5th overlaid with "+12" to indicate there are 12 more photos not shown in the thumbnails.
29 weeks in a row, we have really been #community building up here in #OakRidgeTN
We also had so many good signs this week we've just got to share more photos... #resist with us next week!

A large banner in a sign holder, blue background with white letters that reads, "Honk For Democracy"
A man holding a sign, close up of the sign reads, "Liars, Tyrants, Pedophiles, oh my! Toto, I have a feeling we're not in America anymore! No wizards, no kings, no lying pedophiles"
A protest sign that is just a photo of Jeffrey Epstein with Donald Trump, with the word,"PEDOPHILES" fixed to the front of this photo, hanging off so the word is wider than the photo itself, very legible with white letters on a black background.
An attempt at a group photo showing as many protesters on the line as possible without the photographer getting into the road. It is obviously later into fall as there are leaves on the ground and one visible large tree is missing over half of its leaves. There are a few visible signs like, "tax the rich," and, "all of my outrage won't fit on one sign" along with a box truck advertising David Miller as a candidate for TN state representative.
45 #patriots joined us for our 29th Saturday in a row of exercising our #FirstAmendment rights. We are collecting food for those in need as well, bring some by if you're able when you come join us next week! You'll find us by the library in #OakRidgeTN from noon to 2pm! @nashvilleresist.bsky.social

Protesters and organizers gather on the sidewalk in Oak Ridge, TN on Saturday, November 8, 2025. One organizer is holding a sign that reads, "feeding people is not political" high above her head. The letters are rainbow colored across the white sign. A full line of protesters are visible in the background.
A seated protester holds a sign, white with black letters that reads, "troops out of USA cities." In the middle of the picture, a second protester is looking at a third, they are probably having a conversation. The third protester is holding a red sign, with words in black letters with white behind them, says, "this clown isn't funny he's fascist" with a picture of a sad looking pale clown with orange hair and a black pointy hat.
A picture from behind the line of protesters, around 30-40 people are visible. The trees are visually changed colors to indicate fall season is happening, some of them are missing plenty of leaves already.
A line of protesters, photo taken from very close to the road. Visible signs, one held up by a protester in a blue shirt is white with black letters saying, "ice is out of control" & stuck in the ground in front of the protester is a sign that says, "hate never made us great"
