A small selection of images I took at the anti-fracking protest situated in the small North Yorkshire village of Kirby Misperton back in 2017.

Just a few more . Obviously if deemed inappropriate, please remove.

What an interesting set of photos, Ralph. A mixture of art and reportage. And a nice balance at that. I find your panorama images to be particularly appealing.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Thanks, Brian, much appreciated. They were interesting days..

 

[Dave Farnes]

Agreed, that is a fine set of pictures. All very interesting, love the ones with large amounts of sky.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Thanks very much, Dave

Twice that policeman with the beard is staring at you. Just watch your back...

 

[Ralph Turner]

If he’d been that bothered he’d have caught up with me by now, he’s had nearly six years lol. A couple of times the officer with the video camera pointed his lens at me. First time I just smiled and waved at him, the second I pointed my camera back at him, at which point he desisted. He knew none of us had technically done anything illegal. Bit of a long story, the whole thing.

I like those 'people' made of wood and stuff. Out of interest, did the fracking go ahead in the end?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Cheers, Steve. Fortunately, no, it didn’t. There’s a UK-wide moratorium in place at present, though not sure how long that will last.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Fortunately, no, it didn’t

What an interesting set, Ralph. I too like the wooden figures and also the knitted items. The approaching policeman is very effective and probably more meaning given the current aggression towards protest in the UK.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Many thanks, Pete. Under current law this protest would most likely be deemed illegal and not allowed to happen.
