Wild Horses of Newbury

This was shot very early on a single morning in February, 1996 at the building site of the Newbury Bypass (UK). This controversial road was to cut through some beautiful, ancient English countryside and had met with massive and radical direct action protests, hence the number of security guards. The whole episode only lasted a few minutes, and none of it was staged. The security guards and police had circled two very old Oak trees and were preparing to chop them down, when two scruffy, seemingly wild horses appeared and began to interfere with the felling. One of the horses even confronted one of the police horses.

Could this be a sign from Woden and his 8 legged horse (2 horses x 4 legs) that sacred oaks should not be destroyed like this?

They took all the trees
And put ’em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem ’em
No no no
Don’t it always seem to go,
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
