beyond the doors
nothingness lies
locked out forever
a poor born child
with shut open eyes
on wings he flies
his future is bleak
tears and cries
naked to the core
his human soul
on a long drive
sometimes dead
sometimes alive
against all odds
he must survive
like a sacrificial goat
playing hide and seek
with a butchers knife
Just a few of the numerous warehouse buildings, most connected by rail, in this (mostly) abandoned facility. A number of these buildings are being used by commercial enterprises for storage.
Savanna Army Depot was a 13,062-acre (52.86 km2) installation, located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, in Carroll and Jo Daviess counties, around seven miles (11 km) north of Savanna, Illinois. It was opened in 1917 as a proving and testing facility for weapons developed at Rock Island Arsenal. In 1921 it became a weapons depot. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed the depot as a Superfund site in 1989.[1] The depot was selected for closure through the Base Realignment and Closure process in July 1995 and was officially closed on March 18, 2000. The Jo-Carroll Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) was established to redevelop a portion of the property for commercial and business usage referred to as the Savanna Depot Park. On September 26, 2003, the United States Department of Defense agreed to transfer 9,404 acres (38.06 km2) of land to become the Lost Mound Unit of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. 3,022 acres (12.23 km2) were initially transferred with the rest to be transferred following environmental cleanup. The portion near Lock and Dam No. 12 was transferred to the United States Army Corps of Engineers and a small part to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

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 todavía 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 allí y en esas condiciones. Tengo mis sentimientos encontrados, pero tengo claro que si me dan la opción a elegir, los soltaría 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.
I picked my favorite bag (handmade in Crete) for this weeks Macro theme. It has an imperfection on the lock button.
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.
