Occupy Los Angeles #occupyLA (066)
A protester wearing a Guy Fawkes mask waves a banner on the steps of City Hall during the Occupy Los Angeles protest in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 27, 2011. Protesters awaited a 12:01 a.m. deadline set by the L.A.P.D.
This was the moment after meetings (General Assembly) happened near the City Hall stairs, and when people realized there were just moments before the "deadline" set by LAPD. (Of course, the deadline was not enforced that night, but two nights later.) So it was sort of a symbolic "last stand" -- he stayed on the steps, waving the flag, just moments before eviction was expected.

Nice angle on this one. I like the building as a backdrop.. This guy is waving his fight flag in front of 'big-company' head quarters!
Aaah, I just realized that was City Hall... (read first, comment second lol)
Thanks.
