Oh man, I live in a suburb of Cleveland and I go to that zoo all the time. That eagle's always been a prime target for my camera because it's in that little area with no bars or glass or anything.
Awesome shot and it's really cool to see something from somewhere I know...
Thank you. I don't think this one can actually fly anymore... He wasn't in a cage or even behind a mesh fence. He was just sitting there, on the other side of the railing, with nothing to keep him from getting away. They ahd 2 others who were in a large birdcage with a vulture, but I couldn't get a good picture of those because of the mesh and the fact that they were much further.

Yes, that eagle is a good target for cameras since it's so close and not hidden behind a fence of any kind. Now, the wolves on the other hand... I'm not at all happy with the way they set the whole wolf exhibit up, because you can't see them at all (I'm not even going to mention the little video camera screen they set up in the top corner... it's close to useless). I understand the wolves like to be away from human presence as much as possible, but did they really have to make them so innacessible? Bah, don't mind me, I'm rambling again, lol.
My husband is from around Cleveland, and we lived there for 7 years when we got married, so we went to the Zoo all the time, too (we were on the east side though, so that was a bit of a way, but it was always worth it). And to the Botanical Gardens, the Holden Arboretum... the Art Museum also. I was a bit pissed when we got there this year to visit and found out that the art museum was close, lol. Ah well, it's for a good cause, since they're renovating and making it bigger. Hopefully, it'll look nice when we come back to visit again... in something like 3 years' time, lol.
I've only seen the wolves out once or twice, but when they ARE around it's awesome. I was there one day and they were actually playing in the big pond thing with the beaver. xD
I live about a half hour away from the zoo and all of that, so I'm kind of lucky. I would really like to be able to go see some other zoos, though. Right now I'm kind of stuck with this one.
Darn, I wish they had been around one of the times I was there. That would have been neat. I've ever only got a glimpse of one of them behind the trees in back, through the glass window...
We were in the Colombus Zoo about 10 eyars ago I believe, and that was nice. Whenever we visit another city, we try to go to the zoo there, but we don't always make it, lol. Here, where we live now, there is a large park downtown and they do have a little zoo inside, but it's not that big. There's also a wolf and birds of prey park about an hour from here and we just went there last weekend and THAT wa
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
