We went to our local wildlife park during the weekend as my birthday present.
My wife bought us tickets for the "lion encounter" which is where you join the
keepers in the cage on the back of a truck at feeding time. They drive into
the lion enclosure and pass small pieces of meat out through
With the background looks like some kind of sci-fi creature. Pretty cool!

Jack, Bruce, Attila and Ann,
Thank you all for your visits and comments.
Ironically, this was an unintended / unplanned shoot towards the end of
my weekly, almost meditational macrophotography escape...
The rest of my images (of other things) lacked spontaneity and charm.
Not surprising, I guess!
The "hunters" make biltong from the meat. No doubt Homo Habilis used the
femurs as knobkerries!

Just back from the film.
Terrific, best GP/Formula 1 film since "Grand Prix" in '66.
I was there the year Lord Alexander Hesketh brought the team to Watkins Glen
