When we train large carnivores, such as this Malayan tiger, we always have at least one barrier protecting us from them. We know that these animals are not pets, and that we need to respect their powerful muscles, sharp teeth, and natural instincts.
The Thames Barrier closes partially every month for testing, with an annual full river close in September. More info about the barrier came be found here:

I think this is one of my favorite shots from my trip. Funny, my dad says he sees Jabba the Hutt in the mountain... if I look hard enough, I can actually make him out! LOL
With the snow covering the ground and being the only person in this area of the park on Sunday evening, I was glad there was a fence there to keep me from accidentally going over the cliff.

The John Gilbert Nature Trail is a beautiful little preserve on St. Simon Island. We saw a Green Heron there.
St. Simons Island is a barrier island located in Glynn County, Georgia, United States. St. Simons Island is both a seaside resort and residential community. It is the largest of Georgia's renowned Golden Isles (along with Sea Island, Jekyll Island, and privately owned Little St. Simons Island). Visitors are drawn to the Island for its warm climate, beaches, variety of outdoor activities, shops and restaurants, historical sites, and natural environment.

Great swathes of decking in the Thames Barrier Park. Nice spot though, they do good coffee in the pavillion to.
The Thames Barrier is the world's second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) and is located downstream of central London. Its purpose is to prevent London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the sea. It needs to be raised (closed) only during high tide; at ebb tide it can be lowered to release the water that backs up behind it. Its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of Charlton in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The report of Sir Hermann Bondi into the North Sea flood of 1953 affecting parts of the Thames Estuary and parts of London was instrumental in the building of the barrier.
