EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1967: A Hippy Man Amidst the Scenes of Woburn Park's Love-In This evocative photograph captures the essence of the counterculture movement that swept through Britain during the 1960s, as seen through the lens at the Love-In held in Woburn Park, Bedfordshire. The grassy expanse of the park is filled with young, trendy men and women, their faces alight with the joy and freedom of the summer of love. At the heart of the scene stands a man, dressed in the iconic attire of the era: beads, bells, and badges adorn his person, a testament to his commitment to the hippy lifestyle. His expression is serene, his eyes closed in peaceful contemplation, as if he is one with the natural beauty of the park and the spirit of the age. The scene is idyllic, with the sun casting long shadows over the grass, the trees in the background a vibrant green, and the sense of community and camaraderie palpable in the air. A taxi can be seen in the distance, a reminder of the outside world and the contrast between the counterculture and the mainstream society. This photograph is a snapshot of a moment in time, a moment that came to define a generation and shaped the social and cultural landscape of the 20th century. It is a reminder of the power of youth, the allure of the unknown, and the enduring appeal of the summer of love.
