"At first sight I saw an incoherent mess of chaos and turned to depart. But for some reason, there was a compulsion to turn back and on doing so I discovered the first reason why I did so. It was to be found in the huge arc like shape that subdivided the square.  But there was a second reason which at first sight seemed to have little to do with landscape photography. It was quite simply a deep sorrow along with a realisation that this was to be one of the first wholly environmental photographs that I was to produce. The big arc then became secondary to the trees that had been felled. There seemed to be a brutal and casual dismissal of the value that trees have to mankind, as they appeared to be discarded so. I was thankful for the snow as had there been none, the message of destruction would have been diminished."  Charlie Waite
