View of trees on Strawberry Hill Farm in the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire
View of trees on Strawberry Hill Farm in the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire on January 10, 2012. The proposed HS2 route cutting will traverse the hill just below these trees. Britain gave the green light on Tuesday for a 32.7 billion pound (US$50 billion) high-speed rail network linking London, Birmingham and cities further north, delighting business groups but angering opponents along its route who say it is aunneeded and will scar some the countrys prettiest countryside.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Strawberry Hill Farm in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire. Taken on January 10,2012, it showcases a breathtaking view of trees standing tall and proud on this idyllic farm. However, beneath their majestic branches lies an impending threat - the proposed HS2 route cutting. The controversial decision to construct a high-speed rail network linking London, Birmingham, and other northern cities was given the green light by Britain on Tuesday. While business groups rejoice at the prospect of improved connectivity and economic growth, opponents along its path express their anger. They argue that this ambitious project is unnecessary and will irreversibly scar some of the country's most picturesque countryside. Photographer Olivia Harris skillfully captures both sides of this debate through her lens. The juxtaposition between nature's tranquility and man-made progress creates a thought-provoking image that stirs emotions within viewers' hearts. As we gaze upon these magnificent trees set against rolling hills, we are reminded of the delicate balance between development and preservation. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that progress often comes at a cost - one that must be carefully weighed against our responsibility to protect our environment. It prompts us to reflect upon how we can strike a harmonious chord between modernization and safeguarding nature's wonders for future generations to enjoy.
