There's about as many participants as in a large picnic. "Draws thousands", probably if you don't know how to count.

  For comparison, this is during recent Chile protests: https://santiagotimes.cl/2019/10/26/a-million-chileans-march-in-santiago-to-protest-inequality/ https://santiagotimes.cl/2019/10/26/a-million-chileans-march...

    I was in Santiago last year, that is a lot of people. At least as big as filling the national Mall from capitol to Washington monument, eg the part with big open fields when you count the ancillary streets in that protest

There's a few hundred people in those pics.

  There are ways to check that. I've used the bridge photo as a reference: https://www.mapchecking.com/#47.4984682,19.0412546;47.4985389,19.0412098;47.4990559,19.0438294;47.4989692,19.0438531;47.4989691,19.0438647;1;47.4993386,19.0431566,18 https://www.mapchecking.com/#47.4984682,19.0412546;47.498538... Bottom left of the marked area are those lion statues, while the top right is the lowest point of the chains between the two gates, which is as far as I can see the crowd using that reference. 1 person per meter is a pretty low estimate for a protest walk, but I took it as an average anyway since I can't see the density that far back. I've ended up with 1890 people, and I'd say that pretty much the lowest estimate you can get from that photo.

    You're right, the bridge is very narrow and the lens has a very long field, which makes the picture a bit deceptive (useful also to give the impression of a concentrated crowd). The bridge is about 6 metres wide (two narrow car lanes) but the farthest visible point is about 250 metres away. So it could be approximately 1500 square metres, and a crowd of about 1000-2000 people, although those who are actually visible are far less. Nice tool though, I'll use it again!
