Freeze for Global Warming

This is the third photo that I took on this day:

I had no idea at first why these people were turning into statues, but Pam / Coasties and I were in Vulcan Lane in Auckland City that day, and over 100 people stopped and stood still like statues for 7 whole minutes and we were lucky to be able to photograph them. It was great to be able to wandered around and take photos of people like this - and NO-ONE minded at all :) :)

At 1pm on 5 June 2009, people across New Zealand froze. They came together in public places and became human statues – stopping and standing for united action on climate change. Over a thousand people took part.

The Freeze for Global Warming was held to highlight the need for New Zealanders to come together in 2009 to take action on climate change. It’s a critical year for action, as a new global climate change treaty is being negotiated in Copenhagen in December. Global warming is totally within our grasp to freeze and reverse – we simply need to show our courage to act.

This is the group of people who started off the Freeze – they were playing the instruments and then STOPPED – and all others stopped / froze too – for 7 minutes.

Check out the workshop and you will see another photo taken at the same time...

I can't see you guys freezing for long! he he..you would just have to talk! This is nice, interesting to see these people trying to be still! The top part of the pic is a distraction, I would have gotten higher up and shot DOWN at everyone, but that is just moi! I wish we would do something like this here, would be fun to see!

Rather crowded for Vulcan Lane. 7 minutes is a long time to stay still for. The different expressions on the faces are interesting.

Hello,
Excellent shot!
Really hard job to froze even for 1 minute (for me). Interesting action.
Great composition and presentation.
