Enclosed for safety. Belt-driven gear on a working display at the Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port. The cage obscures everything really. My grandson wanted a picture otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. 1/3 second hand-held, 35 mm equivalent focal length 44 mm. Image stabilisation these days is quite amazing.

Not for the claustrophobic  IMG_0013.jpg by Pete, on Flickr I think this was used for the highest ascent by balloon to 15.78 km in a flight from Augsburg to Merano in 1931. That's from reading the information card at 100% view of the original file. |

Another enclosure not for the claustrophobic. Reconstruction of a prototype submarine.  DSCF0011.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

and another plant enclosure, also Belgian and hinting at a Royal connection. This hasn't been looked at since 2012 and as far as I can see this is the for first time since the day it was taken. Location the botanical garden at Meise, Brussels.  BV9R0023.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

230818-Whatever Gets You Through-2 by Kath Polley, on Flickr The meds I use are largely for pain management. My hands can't cope with pressing them out of the original blister packs that most of them come in so my other half spends time decanting them and enclosing them in little labelled bottles that I can open more easily. |

While I am down memory lane. This encloses an exhibition of Japanese art, it was custom built for this purpose (1900-1904) and is quite fantastic. According to wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Tower_of_Brussels it is now closed for structural reasons, together with its Chinese partner, a picture of which I'll try to process in a moment. I took this picture in May 2012 from inside the gardens of the Royal Palace on an open weekend to see the greenhouses. The public "street view" is obscured by trees and a high wall and it is impossible to see properly up close because its dedicated (Japanese) garden is very small and it is nearly 50 m tall.  IMG_0029.jpg by Pete, on Flickr It is a real shame to read that it is closed. It is absolutely fantastic inside. Edit: This is the partner enclosure for the Chinese art collection - lots of glass and porcelain if I remember correctly. With the sun shining it is dazzling because it is gilded. Almost impossible to get a good picture of - well for me. I tried many times. This one hadn't been touched so I tried to do a better job on it.  _MG_0005.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I managed to loose the fencing from the foreground, but the enclosure in the background would have needed software:  vulture IMGP1337 by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr |

Still on the zoo kick and old, old photos. I think it is giraffes that I most feel the sense of enclosure as alien, then elephants and rhinos. These are all big animals that need a lot, really a lot, of space and zoos just can't be big enough. Infant giraffe heading back to the security of an enclosed space.
