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.
Seen in historic Monterey, California, this is, apparently, the back door to the old jail building! City Hall is next door :-)
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.

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.

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
