This picture is 25 in my "100 Strangers" project. Shortly after I arrived at the park where the People's Climate Picnic and march was to gather, a friendly lady also arrived and we began chatting about climate change and the many associated issues. Sue (for that was her name) is a former teacher and is concerned about minimising her own domestic greenhouse emissions. We continued our conversation on the march to the church where the bell was rung for the event. Sue was able to make a loud statement about climate by ringing the church bell herself (see image in note). Back at the park, I asked her if she would participate in the 'Strangers' project. She agreed, and I took a series of images, both of us having a good chuckle over most before settling on this one as the 'most acceptable'.

This picture is 26 in my "100 Strangers" project. It was taken at the conclusion of the local 'People's Climate Picnic' and march. As is often the way at large gatherings I met some people I knew and they introduced me to others. Eventually I found myself chatting to Chris about the local environment and the relevance of proper consideration of climate change and, most particularly, of sea level rise in regional planning. Chris proved to have quite a fascinating knowledge of the issues, as he was a former Councillor in the local Shire Council and was involved when they initiated policies to minimise future risks. Chris readily agreed to participate in the '100 Strangers' project, removed his sunglasses, and this was the result. Thanks so much for your cooperation, Chris. Explored.
