Our Take on Your Take
Our picks of your pics
Trouble in the streets of Athens
Daphne Tolis sent in a series of pictures from the riots in Greece, with this one my pick of the bunch for its simple use of three elements to convey the scene: the smoke, the fire extinguisher and the masked riot policeman.

On location in Tibet
It’s not every day you see military personnel on the streets of Tibet and it’s certainly not every day that we receive picture of it. So, when a You Witness contributor (who prefers not to be named due to the sensitivity of the story) sent in three dramatic images of exactly that, they were quickly sent off to our chief photographer in China who contacted him directly to seek permission and arrange payment for using the images on the Reuters Pictures Wire service. In total, 12 images from this You Witness contributor have been sent to an international audience via the Reuters Pictures Wire.

Maybe China could spare a few troops, at their expense for Iraq and Afghanistan. Religion seems to attract trouble like garbage attracts flies.
What exactly is it that Tibet wants? Freedom to do what? Can only wonder why China wants Tibet. Do all governments like all religions have world domination as their goal? Isn’t the conflict in Tibet who will rule Tibet, China or the Dalia Lama?
Good picture. Could have been taken in Baghdad, Afghanistan, Islamabad or Texas, both past and present couldn’t it?
