EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in time - an Iron Age commune set up by the BBC near Shaftesbury, Dorset, during a snowstorm that brought modern Britain to a standstill. Taken on the 22nd of February 1978, this image showcases five resilient couples who have embraced the extreme weather conditions with admirable fortitude. The scene is reminiscent of an ice-age landscape, as thick layers of snow blanket the rural surroundings. The freezing temperatures and harsh winds seem to pose no challenge for these adventurous individuals who have willingly embarked on this experimental lifestyle. Their ability to cope with such cold weather is truly commendable. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to the 1970s - an era defined by its exploration of alternative lifestyles and social experiments. This image not only serves as a testament to human resilience but also reflects the spirit of curiosity and adventure that characterized that decade. Alisdair MacDonald's skilled photography perfectly encapsulates both the beauty and challenges presented by nature's elements. Through his lens, we witness a frozen world where tradition meets innovation; where ancient ways collide with modern sensibilities. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and how it shapes our lives. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always room for growth, adaptation, and unity within communities willing to embrace change together.
