Photography of the Climate March in Copenhagen


Over 100,000 people converged in Copenhagen on Dec. 12, 2009 to march towards the Bella Center and demand a fair, ambitious, and binding treaty at the end of the Conference of Parties. This gallery is a selection of some of my best images from the day.

    Interesting photos. Were you able to get on top of the crowd for a view looking down?

    I was not able to get above the crowd. I know some people did, I imagine that it was a great shot.
