EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of unity and determination in Lanlivery, Cornwall, during a protest against the proposed re-opening of a granite quarry in 1993. The image showcases a group of passionate opponents marching between Lanlivery and Luxulyan, proudly brandishing a colossal 40-foot banner that reads "Luxulyan Valley say no quarry". Leading this powerful demonstration is a Cornish bagpiper, whose resounding melodies echo through the countryside. In an effort to protect their beloved land from potential devastation, members of the Countryside Conservation group took action by planting a rowan tree on the very ground that would be affected if Cornwall County Council planners approved the quarry scheme. Symbolically significant, as folklore suggests that rowans offer protection against harm and misfortune. The photograph encapsulates both resilience and community spirit as individuals from all walks of life come together to safeguard their environment. It serves as a testament to the power of collective action when faced with threats to cherished landscapes. Through peaceful protest and symbolic gestures like planting trees, these determined protestors hope to sway decision-makers away from endorsing destructive practices. Photographer Jonathan Barker expertly captured this pivotal moment in history at its most poignant. This image stands not only as documentation but also as an inspiration for future generations fighting for environmental preservation amidst industrial progress.
