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.
The only relief she can really get is tilting the burning balls off her feet up off the ground for a few seconds
Day 228
I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.
And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside.
I got friends locked in boxes (That's no way to live).
What you're callin' a sin isn't up to them.
After all (after all), I thought we were all your children.
I am still sick, somehow. I'm going to the hospital for treatment tomorrow though so hopefully I will finally be able to figure out what's wrong!
I toured my cousins barn yesterday. There was a box fort, a mummified cat, the head of a mummified raccoon, and a gigantic ladder - among other things. I took 200 photos, here is one of them.

Carillon Lock - This lock is one of the last and tallest built in Canada. It is built beside a large dam, the first major hydroelectric project led by French Canadian engineers. With a capacity of 654 megawatts, this power plant is the most powerful of 17 generating stations along the Ottawa River.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Carillon Canal is a National Historic Site of Canada in Saint-André-d'Argenteuil, Quebec.
It was first built in the 1830s to facilitate travel on the Ottawa River. It is a prominent heritage site and recreation area, visited annually by 20,000 pleasure boaters and 30,000 people who use its riverside park.

Inside the second story of an abandoned house, I found this hallway, two connecting bedrooms, and a small attic space all hidden away behind a bedroom closet door that locked from the outside. Extremely creepy.
these brackets are used to lock the bridge in the down position, removed while adding extra bike lanes on the side.
The Kirkfield Lift Lock is a boat lift located in the city of Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada, near the village of Kirkfield. It is designated "Lock 36" of the Trent-Severn Waterway, situated at the highest section of the canal (256.2 m).[1] It is Canada's second lift lock, the other one is the Peterborough Lift Lock, located on the same canal system.[2]
Construction of the lock took place between 1900 and 1907.[2] It was contrived by Richard Birdsall Rogers, a Canadian engineer, who adopted the design of the Lifts on the old Canal du Centre in Belgium. The concept of the hydraulic lift lock had never been implemented in the harsher Canadian climate prior to the construction of the Peterborough Lift Lock, also designed by Rogers. The successful completion of the locks was therefore considered a significant technological breakthrough.
Modernization[edit]
During the late 1960s, the Kirkfield Lift Lock underwent a series of renovations. The original manual controls were electrified and automated, enabling all lock operations to be activated from a single console in the new control tower. The water-driven gate engines and pumps were removed, as well as the retaining walls, concrete piers, and the steel aqueduct. The shops and lockmaster's houses built along the canal were also demolished. The lock was reinforced with a massive concrete structure; a new two-lane underpass was constructed underneath.

This was taken at a 1st to 5th grade school in the rural community of Clavellinas, near San Miguel de Allende. It is the host school of a 10 week international field experience where education students from Texas A&M System universities work with students and teachers at the school to improve education for the local students, and help prepare the visiting students to be better educators in Texas.
The boy in the photo has aged out of this school. He may go on to tele-school (working through workbooks and listening to lectures on TV), if his family can afford it and permits it. Nobody in this community has ever gone to high school as it is too far away and too expensive.
A very cold March day at Camden Lock in London. There is also the huge indoor and outdoor Camden market to visit.
In Paris all the way across the pedestrian bridge (Pont des Arts) leading to the Louvre museum, you will see an endless row of locks with couples names or initials. Seems to be a romantic gesture of endless love that can be found in cities from Rome, Italy all the way to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
This could be the creepiest photo I've ever taken...ha...but still awesome.
Found this location while on a hike recently. Did some photos there last night and got some cool shots.....also saw a huge buck deer walk calmly by me about 40 feet away....really cool.....another bonus of getting out in the woods at night, all the sights and sounds elevated........cool shots....but knew it could be better. Went back tonight. Lit this locked up power panel properly in camera then got back home and did another few in camera shots on top of it (in camera multi). Using the creepy doll again. Back lit, and front lit and laser w/ smoke. Radical shit. Good times. The rust and textures of this box were amazing, and blended so well. Lightpainting photography rules.

Trent Lock is the area of canal locks around the point where the River Soar (flowing northwards) meets the River Trent (at this point flowing east). Near this point two canals also meet the Trent - the Erewash Canal, coming south-east from Long Eaton, and the short Cranfleet Cut which provides a route for boats heading downstream on the Trent, avoiding a weir.
