  • Electricity pylons along power lines under heavy grey sky in the countryside on 20th June 2020 in Studley, United Kingdom. An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy across large distances. It consists of one or more uninsulated electrical cables commonly multiples of three for three-phase power suspended by towers or poles.

  • Hundreds of environmental activists stopping the open cast coal mine Ffos-y-Fran near Merthyr Tydfil, Wales from operating May 3rd 2016. Hundreds of activists dressed in red form a Red Line in the mine to symbolise the red line made in Paris at the COP21. The activists from Reclaim the Power wants the mine shut down and a moratorium on all future open coal mining in Wales. The group Reclaim the Power had set up camp near by and had over three days prepared the action and up to 300 activists all dressed in red went into the mine in the early morning. The activist were plit in three groups and carried various props signifying the red line in the sand, initially drawn in Paris at the COP21. The mine is one of the largest open cast coal mines in the UK and is run by Miller Argent who have to date extracted 5million tons of coal. The activists entered the mine unchallenged by any security or police and the protest went on peacefully till mid afternoon with no arrests made.  Open coal mining is hugely damaging to the local environment and  contributing to global climate change.

  • Electricity cables stretch into early morning mist above Swanscombe, Kent, London England. In the foreground we see a stack of discs called Insulators which stop the electricity carried in the conductor (the wires strung between each pylon) from jumping to the pylon and then down to earth. The cables disappear into the winter fog creating a Sci-Fi scene of 21st technology. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of 542 pylons that have already crossed 110 miles of English countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables from Dungeness coal-fired power station to West Ham sub station in London's East End - to power the West End's high supply demands.

In the foreground we see a stack of discs called Insulators which stop the electricity carried in the conductor (the wires strung between each pylon) from jumping to the pylon and then down to earth. The cables disappear into the winter fog creating a Sci-Fi scene of 21st technology. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of 542 pylons that have already crossed 110 miles of English countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables from Dungeness coal-fired power station to West Ham sub station in London's East End - to power the West End's high energy supply demands.

  • The outline of electricity cables stretch across a gloomy winter sky in woodland near Wrington, North Somerset England. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of L6 pylons that have already crossed many miles of South-West England's countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of Bristol's high supply demands. In the foreground we see the bare boughs and branches of trees creating a Sci-Fi scene of ugly 21st technology versus the beauty of nature. Insatiable appetites for raw power and energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

  • An array of solar panels next to the line near Aldershot Railway Station on 23rd August 2019 in Aldershot, United Kingdom. This innovative project is the first in the UK to power the railway with electricity generated from solar power and, if successful, could see many Network Rail sites across the country adapting this sustainable energy approach. Riding Sunbeams is a social enterprise, run by 10:10 Climate Action. Built with Community Energy South and partnered with Network Rail and The Department for Transport and by InnovateUK.  Aldershot, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Riding Sunbeams is a world leading project to connect solar panels directly into electrified rail routes to power the trains. Direct supply of solar power to rail traction systems has never been done. But it has huge potential - from metros, trams and railways in the UK and around the world.

The activist were plit in three groups and carried various props signifying the red line in the sand, initially drawn in Paris at the COP21. The mine is one of the largest open cast coal mines in the UK and is run by Miller Argent who have to date extracted 5million tons of coal. The activists entered the mine unchallenged by any security or police and the protest went on peacefully till mid afternoon with no arrests made.
