close encounter with a female Tiger resting in the Ken River in Panna Tiger Reserve (Madhya Pradesh, India)
She had killed a male sambar deer earlier that day and was sleeping in a small cave when we arrived in a small boat.
We counted on her having to drink after eating, especially as it was extremely hot that day.
So we decided to wait which was a great decision.
After a while she indeed descended from the cave and came down to the river to cool down.

This is a sculpture outside some offices near to Leatherhead railway station , to get this shot the background was all office building . Therefore , I have cutout the sculpture and set it against a random sky shot I had . The sky was taken as a general scene of Old Warden airfield centred on the control tower would you believe !
Jonathan Kenworthy (b.1943) is the sculptor of this and other
wildlife in action who was born in Westmorland. He attended the Royal Academy Schools from 1961, also studying anatomy at the Royal Veterinary College. Kenworthy used a Schools Gold Medal Travelling Scholarship to make an initial visit to Africa. Further annual trips there followed to further his knowledge of the continent’s wildlife. In 1977 he visited Nepal and Afghanistan. Kenworthy early on began to take part in group and solo shows, including the RA Summer Exhibition. His notable sculptures included a memorial for the writer Ernest Hemingway’s burial place in Ketchum, Idaho, America; and The Leopard, 1985, commissioned by the property developer Wates for 20 Cannon Street. It is depicted and described in Philip Ward-Jackson’s Public Sculpture of the City of London.
In 1993, Kenworthy showed a similar piece in the RBS Chelsea Harbour show Sculpture 93.
To the best of my knowledge it was in 2009 that the statue was relocated to the Wates offices in Leatherhead opposite the railway station where it is now .
