This was an impromptu, unplanned video.

This was made by walking down the street.

How many people is this? 5,000? 10,000? It was pretty big, but not like past years. I met the head of the march at around 6th, and the end at around 9th - but it was moving foward, so you figure that in the 30 minutes, the whole crowd moved at least two or three blocks.

The march also lost a lot of participants due to the heat. When I headed back north, there were people just standing and sitting in the shade, so I joined them.

That's when I saw this:
