The Battle Of Iwo Rochereau

Shot today in Paris, at the foot of the Denfert Rochereau Lion, where anti gay marriage protesters were demonstrating to oppose the new forthcoming law in favour of same-sex marriage. I found there were similarities with the famous “raising the flag on Iwo Jima” picture and I wonder why…

And  now the Street cleaning squad is at the ready in order to clean up the mess after the demonstration. Another war-like bunch, but for a difference purpose.
