The scene unfolds on the rain-dampened concrete plaza outside Portland's Revolution Hall, where dozens of bundled demonstrators have gathered in the gray winter light. Handmade signs warning "WHO will be NEXT" pierce through the crowd, creating a prophetic tableau of solidarity captured just days before Russia's invasion began. — ISO 200 · 50mm · f/5.6 · 1/60
