It's been all over the UK news media this week: government in its eternal wisdom has decided to give the green light for construction of a third runway at Heathrow, the UK's busiest airport. Needless to say that just about everyone you ask (except the business groups, lobbyists and members of the cabinet) are against the idea, but that sets the stage.
Creative minds at Greenpeace have gone and bought a plot of vacant land right in the path of that future runway, and proceeded to decorate it with some gardening ornaments. Let's face it folks, this looked pretty dire: flat light, grey skies, a empty field and only a minimal amount of time to make something out of this. Something that would make you sit up, laugh, frown, cry, whatever, but at least take notice. And get published. So we got a little creative, and I'm really glad that Alistair, Emily, Paul and Lee went along with the ideas - they make for pictures that are a little different from what the wire services and the rest of the newspapers photographers have been doing, and they got published. Result!
