As most of you already know, the G20 is taking place in Hamburg and there is much going on. I went to Hamburg to document the happening and will present you some photographs here. This post will be the first part of two. The photographs will be uncommented. Make your own conclusions.
Don't miss the second part which will follow tomorrow. Feel free to resteem and leave a comment
So much force, do they afraid something?
That is a crazy situation to be in, I been in similar in Los Angeles, I hope no one got hurt.

Incredible Tim, I can't even imagine being in person in that mix. But, it really shows the state of affairs in the world.
We all have different points of view on world events , political influences, human rights, environment, cultural, etc based on our own countries of origin and there are very few opportunities for them to be properly communicated. Unfortunately, the right to protest and voice those differing opinions is not always protected and emotions boil over. We put so much faith in elected officials to speak for us, but sometimes it doesn't seem like they are LISTENING to us.
Thank you for having the courage to get that close in and follow this event first-hand and share it with everyone. PLEASE be safe Tim, a picture may be worth a thousand words, but it's not worth personal harm or worse.
Your are appreciated!
"A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it's not worth personal harm or worse."
True words. There were situations yesterday where I had to back off
Are you still in Hamburg, or back home now?
Still here. Going to capture the last day
ok, be safe.
Good photos, and I appreciate you taking the time to document this event.
I do have to wonder whether this protest does anything at all.
I've always considered the most effective method of protesting something is usually grounded in economics. If you can prevent something from being profitable, or better yet, starve it of the revenue it needs to perpetuate itself - that is more effective than lying down in front of traffic.
I understand the need to be vocal and express a viewpoint. That freedom is essential and I commend anyone exercising it. I just don't think it has any lasting effect longer-term.
As for the G20, hit them where it hurts -- start using crypto currencies and bypass their monetary systems. If you are a supplier, start pricing your goods in crypto and make that known to your customers.
Create end-to-end supply chains that are denominated in cryptos, not fiat currencies. That is how you start to dismantle the system of oppressive monetary policies and banking bureaucrats.
Fight the good fight, but make sure it hits where it hurts - not just for a passing visual.
These people doing this are idiots. Its like a holiday for them, they come from all over to join in the party.
I agree. Speaking up is important, and no one should be afraid to do so. However, it seems the only thing a lot of "leaders" listen to anymore is money and how they can get more of it. I wonder if they have realized by now that people are tired if it and are finding ways to not only leave them behind, but to also cut them off from big business. I f they have figured it out, I wonder how bad their response will be. Looking at the above pictures doesn't paint a good image of what is to come.
Ditto!
wow mad post , sure none of the protesting that will hit the news worldwide

Wow, be safe- it looks pretty tense there- I got caught up in a riot between local ethnic gangs and soldiers during East Timors unrest about 10 years ago- was terrifying when you're in the street with nowhere to run.
Happened yesterday to me. I didn't know where to run. Looking left I saw police forces with shields and pepper spray looking to the right i saw people covered in black throwing stones. Need to be careful
Wow...talk about boots on the streets. Thanks for taking the risk and sharing this with us. Good luck today.
Wow! You in Hamburg for G20 Summit!
The place is beautiful but what security cops are doing is really thinkable. There is fire of protest or something I guess.
Hope the G20 Summit ends peacefully.
Thanks for your #ThroughMyLens series. Great work. :)
Love following guys like @timsaid because i tend to learn whats going on around the world. Nice work and great pictures
Yes I am in Hamburg to capture these scenes. Yesterdays wasn't peaceful at all. Hope today will be better
Best wishes to the people there.
Best wishes to the people there.
Those people showed up to be abused and get on television.
Time to short plywood ... After the G20 ... its all going down, down, down.
amazing work brother :D
Wow, really powerful shots!
The intensity of the pics speaks for itself...I hope no serious injuries occurred .The crowd is enormous though don't you think?
Nice shots !
Nice photos. G20 leaders need to pull themselves together and start adressing the matters that affect the most of the population and not a large capital. This Syrian crysis is starting to look like: panem et circensis for the common people of Europe and the USA. Showing millitary power and stuff while we are entering another cold war.
At this G20 event held in Germany must be attended by leaders of developed countries, of course and certainly the level of security is done very tight, there is no access for people who are not interested.becaus e german country must keep the G20 country leaders'
Firm action by security officers is one example of the alertness of the authorities to protect the meeting.
Germany is a beautiful and prosperous country very suitable for big meetings like the G20.
So my conclusion.

It must be insane actually being there. I saw all the videos online and it looks pretty intense.
Yes it was pretty crazy to be in middle of the happening

@timsaid a very good post indeed from you as always. It is always good to protest (peacefully) however I dont support those bad eggs that turn a city into war zone and spoil the good intention of others. They attacked police and burn cars , and later start blaming police for being hash. The politicians do not even care or notice them as its business as usual for them... Upvoted and thanks for your post
Friedliche Grüße aus Frankfurt
Most violent G20 ever.
The protesters are mostly to blame; they were supposed to have a pacific protest, yet they loot stores and destroy property.
What a shame, I never thought german citizens to be like this.
Thanks for posting by the way.
A lot of these "protesters" were not German, they came from all over the world.
Before the summit there were already calls to attend and disrupt it at whatever cost. https://g20tohell.blackblogs.org/ is a fine example of these terrorists.
Wow, great documentary work Tim!
Edit: On my second viewing I noticed the box where you got Trump's profile through the limousine window. It could use an outline to highlight it. Nice capture!
you have got very good hands on your lenz... very attractive photography.

real battlezone
Wonderful way of showing us your story, it is so wonderful to see your picture story.
Please be safe.
Thanks for sharing these pictures.
Illustrative photos, it is a pity for what's going on there.
such a peaceful event
yes such a peaceful fire, lol so sad how anarchists have to set fires on german streets, its all for show, germany is such a well oiled machine! i wish we had the order of germanY! germany will have no problem handling migrant crisis, they can afford to give the entir eplanet welfare LOL german people are strong! they will teach the Muslim Refugee populations how to
#1 respect women,
#2 how to not hate jews (its illegal to hate jews in germany for example)
#3. How to not be Warlike
But its like teaching someone who is mentally retarded how to do calculus...if anyone can do it, the Germans can!
they must be contained in regions hahah sorry its harsh but its true! germans have Jobs to contain them, It boosts their security and intelligent jobs (to watch over all these potential ISIS terrosists they just let in,) but look th4e Germans believe they can actually de program radicalized jihadis which is very noble of them!
I see a real chance at world peace! All we need to do is take care of North Korea and the Middle East and we are good!
I see Muslims have having a real chance for a Reform!
Islam alreeady has a global caliphate and they will learn to not try and conuer the planet haha its gonna be ok tho! we will find a solutionfor world peace within the decade
such a peaceful violent protest ! World peace will come tommorrow ! :)
Schönes Zeitdokument... resteemed.
picture with long story inside, very professional on how you choose the suitable angle. let's me reblog this one
i hope no one gets hurt, it is sad to see people's cars and proprietie gets burned and stuff :/
Welcome
They are protestant? but this is very peaceful unlike here in the Philippines :(
Later it turned nasty and police had to deploy special forces
Hamburg G20 GIFs.
When this happens in my country they all freak out about how un-european protests are.
WOW Nice pics!
Cool pro nazi...lol
Paris agreement just failed. Terrible.
But why no one brings Pepsi to each other? :(
Lipton Icetea?
Not a bad choice either lol
Nice post
This is really a situation that can be dangerous if not handled properly. The police should be able to control the situation but not by force. Hope no one is hurt.
Breathtaking. Keep documenting this. It is important, this is what helps change the world.
Such an incredible photos here.
