An Afternoon at Occupy Wall Street (UPDATED W/ VIDEO)

**Video located at the bottom**

So, I decided to venture out today and spend a few hours walking through Zuccotti  Park. It's quite an eye opening experience to see so many people from different backgrounds, social status and walks of life gathered together to protest against a single enemy.

I know that Zuccotti Park is only one meeting hub for many protesters and other meeting spots are appearing throughout lower Manhattan, but this was the original starting point, so it felt appropriate to begin here and take as many pictures as possible.

There's really no starting point to mingling to the sea of voices, signs and visible display of community. I must've walked thorough or around at least three times. With each pass I saw something new or different. I read a new message written on a piece of cardboard or heard another grievance that further revealed what's wrong with this country.

It truly is a huge forum to voice out your concerns and troubling issues that not only effect certain individuals but society as a whole. And, the display of solidarity from old and young, student to union worker, etc. added to the sense that these were real issues that affected all no matter where you came from.

I won't talk much from and let these pictures do most of the talking!

Okay, I'll still talking a little bit.

Many displays were constructed with great care and invited passersby and onlookers to contribute to the cause. Speakers attracted small or large groups to listen to their words of inspiration, awareness and action.

So many voices and signs. It was impossible to reach, hear or read each and every one of them. It might take more than once visit and walk through to get to see all of it. And, not only that, eventually, I may be able to see some of the other meeting/gathering hubs that appear.

Across Broadway is where many protesters have stood inline chanting and displaying signs of opposition against the corporate greed!

It was quite an experience to go and see this with my own eyes. The scope and magnitude is clearly visible and it's coming from everywhere.

All in all, I'm glad I went today to witness an incredible event!
