Portuguese Army Mechanized Brigade of Santa Margarida. Spanish Army - Ejército de Tierra. Exercise ORION 26
I tried to get everything in focus here and shot at f10. I merged 3 shots to get focus from near to far. One thing I learned from this exercise is that the framing changes when focusing from near to far with this lens. I assume this is why cine lenses exist for pulling focus within a frame.

The hardest, though perhaps the most rewarding, photography trip I have done so far was finding and photographing Mountain Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Ugunda. I will never forget that, neither the gorillas nor the 2x3hr trek through dense forest. What an exercise that was. Well, that was 5yrs ago, so maybe it's age, though second in line was chasing these Mountain Hares (Lepus timidus) a few weeks ago. One meter of snow is heavy... proper exercise. Loved it!
Just an old shots in my library. :3

Queen Mary's Bower Chatsworth.
Tradition holds that Queen Mary’s Bower was constructed in the 1570s when Mary Queen of Scots was held at Chatsworth, in order to provide a raised exercise ground for the captive queen (her presence at Chatsworth is recorded throughout the 1570s). There is no hard evidence to support this tradition, and while it is perfectly possible that the structure was used by the exiled queen there seems little doubt that the Bower was originally built as a garden feature.
The Bower’s original form is uncertain. It was massively restored in the 1820s by Wyatville and the area around the Bower has been changed in many ways since the 16th century. In particular, major alterations in the mid-18th century by Brown and Millican included the removal of the ponds further to the east. This level and featureless area is a testament to the extent of levelling and earth-moving undertaken by Brown and Millican.
I am very lucky to live in a remote location, up a single track road in the Peak District. The moor literally starts on the other side of the lane from our house. In these times of COVID lock-down, it gives a lot of options for taking local exercise...

I'm sure they would be perfectly happy just standing there eating hay, but it doesn't hurt to move them around a bit.
Based on some older shot in autumn, edited first with G´Mic´s Simple Local Contrast-Filter and some cross-processing-effect.
I used this for exercising this lightray-effect in Gimp, if someone is interested, here is a short how-to:
-duplicate layer, set it to Monochrome in the Mixer and increase contrast to some black OR! white look
-erase all remaining lights that should not be the source of those rays with a medium brush
-Motion Blur-Filter (set to linear, length: 256, the angle is depending on the image) for creating rays, strong Unsharp Mask for strengthen them
-use the Perspective-Tool to get more length and for adjusting the direction
-Colors->Color to Alpha set to black, so only the lightrays remain
-Eraser to get some of the rays behind some of the the tree trunks, opacity for balancing
In the end I used some additional Dreamsmoothing-Filter from G´Mic.

This guy was exercising with two kettlebells outside the Royal Armouries in Leeds. Each kettlebell weighs in at 32kg. I quite like the fact that he was exercising in front of a mortar / cannon with hardware that looked like a cannon ball.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
A lone figure cycling on South Shields pier, permitted daily exercise under the Govt's lockdown regulation.
Long-distance running is the simplest exercise, as long as you take a big step😬....no time to write...to be continued
My title here is suggestive of a prison. In the middle of this courtyard is indeed a lovely Victorian garden, but there is still a relatively large space that would allow a significant number of people to exercise.
This idea is not so far removed from the historical facts (and Victoria's largest high security juvenile prison is in fact a literal stone's throw away behind razor wire). There is even a photograph on this link that shows "Female inmates in 1928" [Royal Park: from parklands to a home: 1840s-1920s] www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
Now of course they weren't strictly prisoners, but those destitute and under the care of the state were certainly institutionalised in a way that we no longer find acceptable.
So in a nutshell, the land was purchased in 1858 to form an experimental farm. The farm ultimately came to nothing and in 1875 an Industrial School for Girls was set up. Might I suggest that the term "Industrial" here has much in keeping the with term "Female Factory" in Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) in the first half of the 19th century. These young women were essentially wards of the state.
In 1880 the girls were moved into foster homes and young males were moved into the buildings on the same conditions. This didn't last long. The rest of the story is best summarised from the history supplied by the RMH:
"By 1881, the boys had been removed and the Royal Park Industrial School buildings were left vacant. In July 1882, the site and buildings were given to the Immigrants’ Aid Society by the government for use as a home for houseless and destitute persons. At this time, the Male Division of the Society was relocated from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
In 1914, the remaining operations, including female and child inmates, were transferred from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
The change in name of the Society to Victorian Homes for Aged and Infirm, in 1902, was followed by another in 1925, to Victorian Benevolent Home and Hospital for the Aged and Infirm. By this time the majority of inmates no longer represented a range of ages, but were primarily elderly. This constituted the true start of geriatric care for the institution." www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
So it is not an exaggeration to say that the space in this photograph was indeed at one time an exercise yard.
