Not Your Average Saturday…
Today was the Great Climate Swoop at Ratcliffe on Soar, Nottingham. Protestors attempted to gain access to E.ON’s coal-fired power station. Learn more from The Great Climate Swoop, E.ON and Nottinghamshire Police.

Strong shot, with the towers and brooding sky. Not sure whether the officer in the front is smiling or grimacing – either way it’s not a particularly friendly scene! Were they also busy photographing and filming you (just in case you might be a terrorist!)?
Thanks David – Thanks for the comment. He was quite a striking guy and the location was perfect – on top of a hill over looking the power station. Couldn’t really go wrong! The police were shooting constantly, I presume they use it as evidence nowadays. I wasn’t a participant though, just shooting what was going on.
