New York — Occupy Wall Street protesters rally in a small park on Canal Street. Police evicted the protesters from their base in Zuccotti Park overnight. The National Lawyers Guild obtained a court order allowing the protesters to return with their tents to the park, where they have camped for two months. The guild said the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on the protesters.

Sonepur, India — 13-month-old elephant Rania stretches her trunk out to touch the nose of her mahut during the Sonepur Mela in India.
