EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to December 1981 at Edinburgh Zoo, where Ian Lonnon, the head keeper, showcases his incredible skills and connection with nature. As he stands beside the penguin pond, a mischievous glint in his eye reveals his intention to catch his tea Eskimo style. With great precision and expertise, Ian has cut a hole in the ice-covered surface of the pond. The frozen landscape creates an ethereal backdrop for this extraordinary moment. However, little did he know that two hungry Gentoo penguins were eagerly waiting for their chance to snatch away his prize catch. As Ian lowers his hand into the icy water to retrieve a fish, time seems suspended. His swift reflexes and quick thinking become apparent as he battles against these agile creatures who share their home with him at the zoo. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and animal instinct. This photograph not only captures an exhilarating scene but also serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with wildlife. Through Ian's actions, we witness humanity's deep-rooted fascination with nature and our ability to adapt alongside it. Mirrorpix has expertly preserved this snapshot from the 1980s - an era when simplicity reigned supreme before modern technology took over our lives. This image transports us back in time while reminding us of timeless values such as resilience and harmony between man and beast.
