South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) named "Roketi" now in training to be an Animal Ambassador at the San Diego Zoo. This 6 month old cub came from a litter of six at a zoo in Texas where she was not competing well with her 5 bigger brothers. Conservation status: vulnerable
Zoos have evolved over the years to make the life of an animal less and less traumatic, although it is still a prison for entertainment. Unlike those parks where the work to preserve species and recover those at risk of extinction seems to me to be an extremely important social and environmental job. Seeing that there are still zoos where you see that it is simply a prison makes me sad and angry, seeing the aggressive attitude of many animals in these zoos already gives you an idea of ​​the discomfort they feel there and in those conditions. I have mixed feelings, but I am clear that if they gave me the option to choose, I would release them all. I dedicate this series to all those animals that in one way or another live in a prison, or simply have their freedom stolen from them.
Los zoo durante años han evolucionado para que cada vez sea menos traumática la vida de un animal, aunque sigue siendo una cárcel para entretener. A diferencia de aquellos parques donde el trabajo para preservar especies y recuperar aquellas en riesgo de extinción me parece un trabajo social y ambiental sumamente importante. Ver que todavÃa existan zoo donde ves que simplemente es una cárcel me genera tristeza y rabia, ver la actitud agresiva de muchos animales en estos zoo ya te dan a entender el malestar que tienen estando allà y en esas condiciones. Tengo mis sentimientos encontrados, pero tengo claro que si me dan la opción a elegir, los soltarÃa a todos.. Esta serie se la dedico a todos aquellos animales que de una u otra manera viven en una cárcel, o simplemente les roban su libertad.
Lock No.3 'Nelson lock' at Braunston on the 4th of May 2020. Combining todays health walk, with dropping off some essential supplies to a narrowboat which was moored up on the other side of the bridge. Usually at this time of day and year, there would be dozens of people outside the Admiral Nelson pub enjoying the setting, and a liquid refreshment or two!
The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.

Lock gates on the Forth and Clyde Canal, near Falkirk. I'm always impressed with these feats of historic engineering (even more impressive when you see a series of stepped locks, like Neptune's Staircase), allowing boats and barges to move onto a different height level of the canal. The water constantly sluicing over the top of the gates was just crying out for black and white pics.
Sometimes graffiti isn't always enjoyable but this spray created an interesting shape and colour. I returned to take another image a few days later and it had been 'repaired' so this is never to be repeated!
