Not much direct action yet but after some furious DIY over the last few days, the camp is now fully functional with an amazing selection of 150 workshops on the program. The indymedia media centre is also now operational running alternately off stored energy from solar and wind and topped up with a bio-diesel genny. It has a satelite dish internet connection giving 12 laptops full internet connection in the middle of a field - quite cool. I've only taken very general shots of the camp as it's unreasonable to ask permission from everyone who happens to be in the picture.

Plenty of arty shots of the power station itself which in the evening light has a strange kind of beauty - well I think so. The drax bouncers didn't like me taking pics claiming it's strictly forbidden but that's bollocks and they can't legally stop anyone snapping.

Also an injunction has been imposed all around the power station.
