We seem to find a lot of locked things in our travels out and about. This particular lock was on a utility type building at a community center where we ate our lunch. It was Sunday and all the buildings were locked but there were a couple of nice pavilions where the breeze cooled us a bit as we ate. Today we are headed out once more to see what we can see and hopefully some locks will be missing so we can peek inside! LOL
I have often thought that there was a photograph to be made out of the large wooden gates that form the entrance to the Beeston Canal from the River Trent. I felt that a slightly high key treatment might show off the weathered wood and its associated ironwork at it's most attractive from a photographic point of view. After all, they are only functional wooden gates that most normal members of the general public might never look twice at. But as photographers we see the world through photographic eyes and the word 'normal' could never apply to us!

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.
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!
While not accurate the title seemed to work better with horns than antlers.....more commonly used, for many reasons.
These 2 elk bulls put on a good show. More in play and practice then harming each other. Prep for future battles to come over lady elk against bigger bulls.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!!
